Christon Jones () has been nominated as a Black Enterprise Teenpreneur of the Year. He has spoken to audiences on three continents and has an online mastermind course that (grown) people across the country are taking, to learn from him. Christon is a day trader on the U.S. Stock Market and the CEO of his own firm, Return On Investment, LLC. None of this is necessarily unheard of in world history at first glance but the Christon’s story takes an unusual twist, should you ask his age — he’s actually 12.�
Christon’s dad is in real estate and his mom is in the military. At the age of seven Christon heard about a Black boy in Chicago who made $50,000 after investing in the stock market. He asked his mother to show him how to invest in stocks — she didn’t take him too seriously. Christon began doing his own research, which convinced her that he was in fact sincere. Christon obviously has done well trading but his ambitions aren’t selfish. Jones is particularly focused on helping underprivileged youth learn how to invest and trade in the stock market, to create financial freedom for the future. To that end, he founded the Truth Playmaker Awards, which was held its first show this past summer, in Atlanta.
