A 23-year-old millionaire criticised his generation's use of social media for "mindless scrolling," calling any young people who were "triggered" by his comments "lazy."
Canadian entrepreneur Luke Lintz found success after starting a business at the age of 16 alongside his brothers, Jordan and Jackson. The company is currently worth eight figures.
My generation is sluggish, but anyone can become wealthy in their 20s if they stop aimlessly reading through social media, says a 23-year-old millionaire.
Luke, who has 1.1 million Instagram followers, has shared how he surmounted obstacles in his personal life, such as his parents' tumultuous divorce, a difficult upbringing, and a childhood stammer, to forge his own route in life.

If Gen Zers would just quit obsessively scrolling through their social media accounts, more of them, in his opinion, could follow suit.
Luke, who lives in a luxurious apartment, drives a high-performance vehicle, and vacations in far-off places with his fiancée who "stays at home," also revealed the secrets to his success.
The proprietor of HighKey, who is originally from Canada but now resides in Puerto Rico, lamented that "too many young people make excuses when they could be making money."
People may point the finger at the economy, but in the end, you will be compensated for your contributions.
You need to be surrounded by ambitious individuals if you want to succeed, and living in my little community prevented me from doing so.
'I know I truly let my parents down when I chose to forgo education and start my own business.
Initially, my dad was so unhappy that he forcibly ejected me from the home, forcing me to start over from scratch.
But everything worked out in the end, and I know he later invested in the business and I know he is proud of me now.
In the past seven years, I haven't taken a day off.

There are a lot of opportunities available, but most 20-somethings are dependent on their phones for scrolling.
Luke allegedly made his fortune through Instagram advertising despite advising young people to avoid social media. He started by making advertisements to market tangible goods before transitioning towards digital PR and promotion.
Currently, Luke and his brothers have 1,200 clients across the globe, including well-known celebrities like Kevin Hart, Cardi B, Tyga, Nicki Minaj, Bella Thorne, and Rick Ross.
'I resolved from a young age that I wasn't going to become a victim or get messed up by a traumatic background,' he said.
My parents' contentious divorce lasted for 14 years when I was much younger. The case even reached the Supreme Court of Canada at one point.
I had a stammer and speech impediment as a result of the trauma, so for a while I just opted not to talk.
As the middle kid, I could hide between my siblings, but conquering these problems was the cornerstone of my perseverance, says the speaker.
"I was confident in my capacity to lead."
I don't quit easily, but a lot of people in my generation do.

They don't want to put in the necessary effort because they are lazy and want to take the easy way out.
75 full-time employees work for Luke, who wants to be a millionaire by the age of 40. In the next five years, the company hopes to make $100 million in revenue.
He enjoys treating himself and his 25-year-old partner Kendel Kay to expensive items.

I enjoy spending money, and it inspires me to earn more, said Luke.
I reside with my girlfriend in a $9,500/month condo right on the beach, but we also enjoy taking trips.
Travelling in elegance is my preferred means of treating myself. In the best hotels, we are always given luxurious rooms.

"I enjoy jewellery and cars as well."
I also enjoy jewellery and fancy vehicles because I want to enjoy all the finer things in life. I even invested in a stunning Lamborghini with gold rims when I was 20 years old.

I don't work for money to be content. I'm already content. I am content because of the work I perform and the journey I am doing.
"I want to inspire other young people to not hold themselves back from success, but to get up and grab opportunities when they come to them."
