Sara Blakely, the woman behind Spanx, just gave all of her employees first class airplane tickets to anywhere in the world they want. And she tossed in $10,000 spending money.
She can afford it. Another company, Blackstone, is buying a majority stake in Spanx. That upped the value of Spanx to $1.2 billion.
I don’t know how many employees she has, but after watching the Instagram video where Sara is announcing all of this, I’d guess there are at least 40 or 50. There’s a clip where a few are saying where they’ll be going. They really want to travel far: Croatia, Antarctica, South Africa, and Japan.
