Forbe's recently came out with their annual list of billionaires, and I was pleasantly surprised to see another woman added the list. LIST of Billionaires 2012
The youngest, self-made female billionaire, Sara
Blakely is the inventor of Spanx. Like so many entrepreneurs, Sara was
trying to solve a problem. She had bought a pair of white pants and could
not find any undergarments that fit well under the pants. Finally, she
took a pair of panty hoes, cut off the bottoms, and Spanx were born. The
problem-solving brand has become a red carpet must-have for celebrities and a
daily necessity for women and men everywhere. Headquartered in Atlanta, GA, SPANX® is
available in 35 countries and now offers more than 200 products ranging from
slimming apparel and swimsuits, to bras, activewear and men's undershirts.
These body-shaping innovations have secured SPANX a place in pop-culture, with
daily mentions everywhere from CNN to SNL.
It's nice to see another woman go up the ranks. Now, if only
I could come up with an ingenious product like this one :P
