An 11-year-old Texas girl has just scored a sweet $11 million deal with Whole Foods to sell her brand of lemonade.
Mikaila Ulmer's BeeSweet Lemonade will be carried by 55 stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.
When Whole Foods saw the promise in her lemonade, the supermarket agreed to sell the products in its regional stores. If Mikaila's lemonade does well, it'll eventually be sold nationwide.
The savvy 6th-grader from Austin, Texas, has developed her signature Me & The Bees lemonade stand into a thriving national business.

Zero expenses because she uses mom’s kitchen and ingredients?
Cool! Pure profit.
She didn’t build that.
Obama’s IRS thugs will be knocking on her door soon.
But ... SLAVERY!
Get her introduced to taxation asap.
That’s racis.
Bravo to her. With that kind of cleverness and ambition at a young age, she should do well in life.
Yep we need govt goons to investigate. Does she meet all health and safety standards in her home? Does she have a permit to sell products for human consumption? Does she have a business license??? Any employees? If so were the payroll taxes paid???
She should have built a clock bomb if she wanted to get invited to the White house.
Silly capitalist.
This is what we should be teaching our kids.
NAH!! This is an April Fool!! Someody want us to actually beieve that in the United States, a person of ANY age can still get an idea and parlay it into a national bonanza.
Besides, she didn’t do it herself...no one does it on their own. I read that somewhere.
Soon she will be vilified because of her habit of putting her evil PROFITS into savings so when it is college time there will be NO college loans to weigh her down. Frankly I’d be happy if when the time comes, she choosed and BUYS her own personal college. She will teach a course in “Staying out of Mom’s extra bedroom 101.”
Not likely. She also received a personal meeting with 0bie.
I have tasted her lemonade and it is pretty good.
If she got money from Shark Tank I wonder how much of the company she still owns. Maybe 40-50%?
Marketing/publicity crap.
She claims that using honey saves the bees.
How?
oh come on. someone is behind the scenes doing this for this kid. she makes a good front.
God bless you. Go now and become a millionaire.
