The 13-year-old CEO

Mikaila Ulmer is 13-years-old, a student in the Austin, Texas school system and the chief executive of Me & The Bees Lemonade, which is sold in more than 500 stores - including Whole Foods - across the US. She has been doing this since she was four. 

She is a busy girl. She says, "Sometimes I have to miss classes to do an interview, or travel for a TV show. Or I'll miss a big show or presentation because I have a large project or test at school." 

In 2015 she raised $60,000 from Shark Tank. Two years later a consortium of former and current American football players invested $800,000. 

She donates 10% of profits to bee conservation groups.
