MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell admitted in a recent interview that his company won't be able to get back all of the $65 million in lost revenue that has come as a result of his close ties to former President Donald Trump and its promotion of groundless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
More than 20 retailers have removed MyPillow products from their shelves since January, among them Sam's Club, Kohl's and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Lindell first told Insider in February that his company had lost $65 million in revenue.
In a follow-up interview published on Sunday, the MyPillow CEO said that chunk of change was not coming back.
"We obviously can't get that back, we're going to lose that," Lindell told Insider. However, he said the company is working on a strategy to recoup at least some of the loss. The businessman pointed to growing revenue from podcast and radio ads.

(64,995 posts)The company carries a value of $152 million with revenues of $150 million.
The Debt:Equity is 4.86, so the actual value of equity is only $27-28 million.
The company is only 13 years old, and wasn't national until about 8 years ago.
The $300 million comes from an edit to his Wikipedia page, with reasonable suspicion that he is the one who made that edit.
It's essentially impossible that he could be worth that much.
IOW, he lies about his net worth. Sound familiar? LOL!
The net income, after taxes is only around $10 million.
Now, there's a hole in revenues to the tune of 40%+ of total.
His pissant junk shop is toast.
Given all these facts, the open question is who is really paying for the media platform & the idiotic "documentaries"? It isn't him.

Well done. You took hold of a stupid lie and destroyed your company. Priceless.
By the way, did you read "The Art Of The Deal?" Your management style emulates Trump's so closely I figured you must have.
