Australian teenager Jessica Watson is tipped to become one of the country's richest teens with millions of dollars in sponsorships waiting for her when she gets back.

The 16-year-old is trying to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world and is expected home late April or early May.

She is now in the Indian Ocean, passing the Cape of Good Hope off South Africa this week.
