What happened

The Australian teenager who gained international media attention recently for throwing a raucous party—which drew over 500 guests, attracted the police and a dog squad, and caused $17,500 in damages—is using the ordeal to launch a professional career. Sixteen-year-old Corey Delaney (birth name, Corey Worthington) has given up plans to become a carpenter and has instead taken on celebrity agent Max Markson, who has already set up a party tour that Delaney will DJ and host. “Working on a building site was pretty hard. Now I’ve got a manager, life’s good,” Delaney told Australian television. (Reuters)
