5. Coddies ($1.5M/year)
Jack Bennet built his e-commerce businesses from his laptop, while in Thailand and Indonesia for six months.
Jack Bennet (from London, UK) started Coddies over 5 years ago.
About Coddies
Jack Bennet, is the founder coddies, a footwear brand he launched in 2018.
The London-based entrepreneur, traveler, and fish lover started his first business at 15. His first was a company that sold rare breeds of chicken. After exiting the chicken business, he created an online media company and recently launched Coddies.
Jack Bennet founded Coddies because he placed on his first pair of Fish Flip Flops and strolled around town.
He obtained the type of interest that a black boot or a battered teacher can most effectively dream about: huge grins, a touch chuckle, the appearance of astonishment, even.
Coddies was released in early 2018 to re-layout the manner we see shoes. The modern-day shoe marketplace is ruled using patterns with a similar layout and color.
With a collection of funny puns and a determination to stand out in a sea of standard footwear, Coddies is leading the footwear revolution.
How he saved $4k
Bennet saved $4,000 by swapping continents for six months.
Jack Bennet commenced numerous e-trade businesses, indeed considered one among which manufactures and sells fun-designed footwear globally.
His companies, while registered within the U.K., may be operated from everywhere despite his travels.
