been selling marbles(弹珠). His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things
marble-related－from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items
like Duke of York solitaire tables － sourced, purchased and processed by the mini-CEO
himself.
"I like having my own company. I like being the boss," Harli told the Mirror.
With profits now in the thousands, "the world"s youngest CEO" has had to get his mother
and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.
Harli launched Marble King after swapping marbles at school led to schoolchildren consuming
his marble collection. Yes, he literally "lost his marbles." Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to
the Internet to find replacements.
Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months,
Harli had his own marble-selling website － and orders started pouring in.
Tina says her son"s attachment to marbles started when he was just 6.
"His attachment became so passionate that we started calling him the Marble King - so when
he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it," she told The Sun.
"I never thought it would become so popular － we are struggling to cope with the number
of orders at times."
The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand
of marbles.
"Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to
own Britain"s biggest marble shop and open stores around the world," Tina told The Daily Mail.
"At the moment he is annoying me by creating his own Marble King marbles－so that could
well be the next step for him."
