Spanx founder Sara Blakely sells majority stake in company to Blackstone

[@CA2SD]

The thing that differs her from other entrepreneurs...she's still so passionate and involved in her brand. Treating her employees well, too!

[@geocyo8835]

Damn, Gayle! You just stepped all on that man's question. I'm glad Sara was gracious about it and answered him despite Gayle's interruption.

[@sandobi1]

I found this annoying as well, as I really wanted to hear the answer. Gayle seemed very intent on dominating the interview

[@call_me_cooper]

Dang. She’s so freaking intelligent. I’m inspired.

[@noahestus6830]

That’s awesome, and the fact she knew when to exit at a billion! I hope she’s able to take care of her family and be charitable!

[@noahestus6830]

“The strength of seeming weak to those around”. That’s power.

[@Matthew-16-26]

She and my first (female) boss were on the same page: my boss wore pantyhose under all work & formal outfits (made her feel tucked in, polished, etc). A few other women back then did the same. Cool that this woman had the idea to turn it into a business and the business made her a billionaire.

Why did Gail try to talk over the guy to the left of her when he asked a question? Starting at the 4:20 mark... SMH

[@isabelgarcia-zk1ns]

I was going to say the same thing 😂 what an idiot 🤣 glad Sarah was respectful enough to go back to his question.

[@bb9470]

@@isabelgarcia-zk1ns Yes, Sara was professional & respectful and did not ignore his question.

Very awkward

[@leandra5248]

She always talks over people.

[@lust8505]

It was very classy that Sarah addressed the gentleman’s question. It was rude of Gayle to talk over him.

[@katiel1979]

That’s sad she sold her brand meant so much to her

Selling anything to Stephen Schwarzman Blackstone is a recipe for disaster!

[@misswinnie4.8]

Exactly.

I can’t believe that she sold to blackstone .🙄

[@bb9470]

Sara still has a stake in the company.

[@schoomzer]

Shelby McKee Blackstone owns a piece of everything, and they are willing and able to pay big bucks.

Exactly

[@bobbg9041]

If she's on a giving away her money, this buying 2 first class tickets at anywhere and 10k bucks the return on this she won't be able to give it all away. This is only going to end in substantial more income. I think everyone needs to watch this unfold and the outcome becuse investing in your staff like this is somthing no one does, showing this kind of recognition is uncalled for normally It's going to come back 10 fold. Watch. Other coprations need to take notes.
