Show me the Monet: Artist Kieron Williamson earning millions at the age of 11

HAVING an estimated £1.5million to your name is quite an achievement at any age but when you’re only 11 that’s a heck of a lot of paper rounds.

That’s unless you’re a child prodigy like Kieron Williamson from Ludham in Norfolk. When he’s not playing with his pals or watching his beloved Leeds United, he’s coining in a fortune from his paintings. Had the snow-dusted scenes, dazzling crimson sunsets and sun dappled broads been created by an adult they would have been deemed works of art.

Knowing the talent behind the brush is a boy makes the paintings all the more mesmerising and incomprehensible.

Last July, 23 of Kieron’s works sold for £242,095 in less than 20 minutes – almost as much as Wayne Rooney pockets a week at Manchester United.
