Adam Hildreth (born 25 March 1985 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England) setup his first company, Dubit Limited when he was 14. Dubit Limited went onto become one of the biggest teenage websites in the UK and now markets itself as a 'Youth Marketing Agency', advising major brands on how to market their products to young people.
Hildreth's latest venture is Crisp Thinking, which develops online child protection technology. The company claims to work closely with both Internet Service Providers and child protection organisations to develop solutions that protect children and teenagers from 'online grooming'.
He was reportedly worth £2m in the 2004 UK top 20 richest teens list and the current (2008) Sunday Times Rich List ranks Hildreth as 23rd in the 100 richest young people in the UK based on a valuation of £25m. In a study of British Millionaires of the Future Adam was predicted to be worth £40m by the year 2020. Hildreth was named the CBI's Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the end of 2006, which was awarded to him by Duncan Bannatyne and Peter Jones from BBC's Dragons' Den programme.

Famous quotes containing the word adam:
“Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines; I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.”
