Dalton Ng and Joella Lum aren't your average young couple.
For one, they're cohabiting — and paying rent — in a comfortable condominium apartment a stone's throw away from Orchard Road.
For another, they're both self-made millionaires. That's right, they're each worth between $2 million to $3 million, Dalton, who just turned 20, tells us.
Admitting that they lead unconventional lives, 19-year-old Joella says both of them have the same fiercely independent streak and grew up with an entrepreneurial mindset.
"You know the people in primary school who go and buy the six-pack of erasers and sell each one individually? We're that kind of people," she laughs.
Indeed, while most people their age are toiling away at their minimum wage part-time gigs, the pair make a comfortable $70,000 to $150,000 monthly from their various businesses and investments.
Dalton runs two start-ups: Glance.sg, a hyperlocal platform for freelancers, and ContainerPay, a payment processing system for the shipping industry.
As for Joella, she operates several stores on e-commerce platform Shopify. She also handles the pair's stocks and cryptocurrency investments.
