31-Year-Old Millionaire Debunks Gen Z's "Excuse Theory": Starting a Business and Getting Rich in the AI Era Is "Effortless"

According to Fortune, British serial entrepreneur Timothy Armoo stated bluntly during an interview that this is the most accessible era in human history for building wealth, offering little sympathy to Gen Zers who are lying flat over claims of a "dismal job market" and "AI stealing jobs." Armoo noted that "building small projects with AI" is the most direct path to wealth in 2026, with tools like ChatGPT and Claude available at little to no cost while social media platforms enable organic audience reach. Starting from scratch, Armoo launched a tutoring service at age 14, completed his first acquisition at 17, and sold his influencer marketing agency, Fanbytes, for an eight-figure sum at age 27. He has since established the Legon Fund, allocating approximately $6.7 million to specifically back minority AI entrepreneurs and break down funding barriers.
