Stanford grad students Sergey Brin and Larry Page failed to sell their Google precursor, then called Backrub, for $1.6 million. Now Google has a market cap of over $200 billion.

Seattle teenager Bill Gates had a product called Traf-O-Data, a computer device to measure highway traffic; it failed. Bill Gates is now one of the richest men in the world.
