Meet the teenager trying to 'trade-up' from a pack of gum to a house

This teen is on a quest to swap a pack of chewing gum for a house - he's now traded up to an Xbox worth £450. Addison Bowley, 18, has started his ambitious project to 'trade-up' each item for a higher value item.

Full-time social media content creator Addie was inspired by others like Ryan Trahan, who traded from one American Cent to a house in just a week. Addison, who goes by Addie, began by picking up a pack of gum.

So far Addie has completed nine trades in just four days. He completed his first deal at his local shopping centre, where he traded the pack of gum for a ballpoint pen.
