9 CEOs Who Started Companies as Kids

Katrina Markoff, Vosges Haut-Chocolate

Who on earth does not love chocolates? From the age of seven Katrina started pleasing her customers by selling off her treats that she made in her Easy Bake Oven. As she grew older, she sold her treats to local stores and country clubs. She received training at Le Cordon Bleu, one of world’s best cooking stores. It was not surprising when she turned a gourmet chocolate maker. Her company Vosges Haut-Chocolate offers exotic varieties flavored with spices, bacon, and other ingredients. The company sells over $17 million of creative chocolate treats. The company features different gourmet chocolates at their Chicago, New York and Las Vegas boutiques.
