(75,682 posts)63. Important Note About Working For Him
They maxed out at $152 million in revenue. They had 1,500+ employees. 100 grand in revenue per employees!
So, those were what; $40,000 jobs?
Not exactly the benevolent boss he was made out to be.
Also, the listed net worth for him online is literally impossible to be true. His debt:equity ration was 5, so the equity in the company was $25 million (he's not the only owner), and with nearly $20 million of debt service (annually) his share couldn't have been more than $10 million in the best year. Less to much less as we go back in time, and the company is only 14 years old.
Not the business titan he was made out to be.
Iow, a fake.
