The internet has created millionaires out of creative people all over the world, and some of the most surprising new millionaires haven't even reached their twenties.

At just 19 years old, Angelo Sotira got together with his friends to create multimedia site DeviantArt, which he helped to start way back in 2000.

Considered the Facebook of the art world, the website has remained a powerhouse on the internet for over a decade and has shown no signs of slowing down.

DeviantArt wasn't Sotira's first brush with huge amounts of money, however, as he sold a music site to media mogul Michael Ovitz a few years before working on DeviantArt. Over the years, Angelo's

7. Fraser Doherty & Super Jam

Hailing from Scotland, Fraser Doherty had a grandmother who taught him to make jam and at 14 years old, he started selling the special recipe to nearby friends and neighbors.

He decided to drop out of school when he was 16 so that he could devote all his attention to the jam business, and eventually started to supply a few hundred stores with jam as part of his business.

This young entrepreneur became a millionaire with a net worth of at least $2 million because of a simple food idea, and even put his money to good use through the creation of a charity named The SuperJam Tea Parties. www.shop.superjam.co.uk
