How to be the most popular kid in school, in one easy lesson: New York 17-year-old made $72MILLION trading stocks on his lunch breaks - and now buys his friends $400 caviar and drives a BMW

Mohammed Islam (left), 17, who started dabbling in penny stocks at the tender age of nine, spends most of his lunch breaks at Stuyvesant High School (right) in New York trading oil and gold futures, and small to mid-cap equities. Outside of school, he and several other young traders eat regularly at Morimoto on 10th Avenue, where they feast on $400 caviar, expensive dishes and fresh-squeezed apple juice. During an interview for New York magazine's Monday issue, Mohammed refused to disclose his exact net worth, but he admitted it was in 'the high eight figures'.
