The cofounder of John Paul Mitchell Systems and Patrón tequila previously told Business Insider that, growing up, his family didn't have much money, so he worked from a very young age building flower boxes for 25 cents and selling them for 50 cents.

"At 11 years old, I had a morning paper delivery route with the LA Examiner and I made $33 per month," he said. "I gave the money to my mother so we could live a better life. Having a job was an honor."
