SARA BLAKELY
Shapewear Savior

Blakely, the 48-year-old founder of Spanx, built a billion-dollar empire specializing in body-shaping undergarments for women. Born and raised in Florida, she had the idea of Spanx after getting tired of the discomfort caused by wearing pantyhose in the brutal Florida heat. She armed herself with a pair of scissors and history was made. She has been featured on Shark Tank, QVC and The Oprah Winfrey Show and is a minority owner of the Atlanta Hawks. In 2006, she founded the Spanx by Sara Blakely Foundation, providing funds to charities that empower young women.

Haircare Hero

However, the demand for a business that focused exclusively on hairstyling and drying grew beyond her wildest expectations. Webb went from trekking across town with her blow-dryer in her Nissan Xterra to conquering uncharted hair care territory. Drybar has blown up to a $100 million operation with more  than 100 locations.
