Millionaire Tim Armoo says AI makes wealth creation easier than ever for Gen Z

Tim Armoo, a self-made millionaire who launched his first tutoring venture at 14 and later sold an influencer agency to Brainlabs for an eight-figure sum, told one outlet that the AI era is the most accessible time in history to generate wealth. He contends that Gen Z’s frustration with a tight job market ignores the fact that AI lets anyone turn an idea into a product without large upfront costs. Social platforms, he says, replace traditional advertising, allowing creators to market directly.

Demonstrating his confidence, Armoo has committed £5 million of personal capital to the Legon Fund, which will finance AI-focused startups founded by minority entrepreneurs. He argues that with free tools like ChatGPT and Claude, the only barrier left is motivation.
