1. Spanx founder Sara Blakely made the Forbes 2012 list of billionaires. Over 1,000 names appear on the list, including Oprah, Bill Gates, and Warrenn Buffett, and at 41-years-old, Blakely is the youngest self-made billionaire to appear on the list.
According to Forbes,
“Blakely owns 100% of the private company, has zero debt, has never taken outside investment and hasn’t spent a nickel on advertising."
Lucky for us, it looks like Blakely and her team of 125 (only 16 of whom are men) will be making Spanx for many more years. [
