This lady’s name is Bonnie Brown. She’s a skillionaire. She wasn’t always rich, though. Back in 1999, she was making $450 a week as a masseuse for Google, which at that time had 40 employees. Boy oh boy, Google must have known it was going to be huge to hire a masseuse for only 40 people. The last company I worked for had over 300 people and there was no masseuse and no free food except for a temperamental popcorn machine.
Anyway, when Bonnie left Google, the stock was at $85 per share. It recently just broke $700 per share. She’s a smart lady for holding onto it until now. Lucky, too, because she has her own masseuse now. My how the padded tables with face holes have turned.
