The Bootstrapped Billionaires
Sara Blakely
The self made billionaire Sara Blakely is the founder of Spanx. She was just 29 when she invested $5,000, her entire savings, to come up with something flattering to wear under her white slacks. Time turned for her after six months later when personnel from Disney World saw the name of the company on the favorite list of Oprah Winfrey. Currently the company sells over 200 products in 12,000 department stores, boutiques and online shops in over 40 countries.
