Have you heard about the incredible milestones of Australia’s youngest millionaires? Fotios Tsiouklas and Alan Gokoglu have achieved vast growth at such a young age. The two young lads, Fotios and Alan, have become a household name in all spectrums. They simplified their approach to just about anything by ensuring that all individuals identify with them.
So which formula did they use to achieve immense success?
It all started as a hobby when Fotios decided to explore a venture by creating a website plan, fotoz.com.au, a social media network for photographers. The people around him told him it wouldn’t work. However, a year later, Instagram was unveiled. The experience gave Fotios hope to pursue his dreams. After that, Fotios built and sold gaming apps while Alan built utility apps and subscription-based apps, each of them were making roughly $10k a month in the app industry at a very young age.
The expansion of social media platforms pushed Fotios and Alan to think outside the box. They purchased the TikToks.com domain predicting that TikTok would become the next most prominent social media platform in the world. In addition, they bought other TikTok keywords such as “Viral TikToks” and “Funny TikToks,” a move to ensure their presence on Google. When the two purchased the domain, it was worth $2,000. Since the explosion of TikTok, the domain is worth roughly $145,000.
Fotios and Alan also created Kickspan- Australia’s fastest-growing digital agency to date. The 7-figure agency has gained more than 12,000 clients in under 24 months and currently has 4,500 active members.
Fotios and Alan took a different angle and focused on app development, which led to successfully creating over 100 apps for businesses worldwide. Their apps that they sold generated $360,000 before they turned 18 years old. Later, Australia’s youngest millionaires developed more serious apps and games such as Downfall- Endless Arcade Descent and Math Academy to mention a few that sold for roughly $26,000.
Their business’s success led to the creation of 8 new SaaS products such as instaBoom.io which is a tool that creates a unique hashtag for you to use on Instagram that will help you grow your profile and TikToks being 2 of the 8 SaaS products that are owned under their umbrella company AF Group. Their 8 SaaS businesses have helped almost 20,000 clients worldwide. Their SaaS products are meant to help entrepreneurs build and scale their brands fast. Their umbrella company AF Group turns over six-figures in monthly profit with an automated subscription-based profit and reinvests money into building and acquiring businesses.
Besides creating apps, Fotios and Alan own the biggest nightclubs in Melbourne. Mango Fridays, Levels Melbourne, UNIBASH, and Club Sacred. In total, they host roughly 3,000 patrons every Friday and Saturday each weekend.
Was there hard work worth it?

They have been featured on SBS, News.com.au, Daily Mail, Herald Sun, Courier Mail, Forbes, Entrepreneur.com, and Channel 10 News. The lads have solidified their presence in Melbourne, Australia. They were featured in Forbes and Entrepreneur at age 19, along with over 150 other major newspapers and publications.
Did we mention the iconic duo are worth $5 million and have worked with celebrities like Blac Chyna, XXXTENTACION, Supreme Patty, and other top tier celebrities to build addicting arcade game apps that were used to boost product sales. They also currently own properties and offices across Melbourne.
They have even taken an additional step to ensure they have created a positive social impact while maintaining a solid cultural style. Fotios advocates for the Greek language’s frequent use in schools. He speaks to Greek schools every week and made a Greek learning app known as Metropolis. On the other hand, Alan plans to talk at Turkish schools very soon, and he is currently working with his Turkish colleagues and planning many different ways to help the Turkish culture thrive.
