See in the video: Spanx boss donates first-class flight tickets and $ 10,000 to employees.
Her underwear business was valued at $ 1.2 billion after a partial sale. With a grand gesture she thanked her employees. And their generosity didn’t end with the plane tickets. But hear for yourself: “Maybe you want to go out or check into a really nice hotel … So in addition to first-class plane tickets to anywhere in the world, I’ll give you $ 10,000.” The reaction of the staff couldn’t be more emotional. Some people cry, others just keep their mouths open. Blakely founded Spanx in 2000, when she was 29. When she talked about her beginnings, tears came to the entrepreneur herself. Her goal at the time: a company with value of 20 million, which it has exceeded many times over.
