That is a highly debatable question. Jimi didn't become famous in the United States initially. While playing in a band in Harlem he was noticed by a British producer who convinced him to go to London. The problem Jimi was having at this time was that he was only a guitar player playing other people's songs and he was not allowed to express his own artistic talents.
In London he was able to cut albums, his first one being "Are You Experienced?" This album was a major success in Europe but not the United States. So to answer the question, "How old was Jimi Hendrix when he became famous?"
In Europe, probably twenty three. In the United States twenty-five after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in California. Sadly Jimi died two years later just when his success was reaching legendary proportions due to the number one album "Electric Ladyland" and his performance at Woodstock in 1969.
He was about 18 when he started playing for a couple of local bands.
That, of course, depends on when you want to assume rock n roll was invented. Let's assume 1955, so Jimi would have been age 13.
