Sofia Amoruso

Sofia Amoruso has created a multimillion-dollar business, starting with the sale of vintage items on eBay.

After her vintage Ebay Nasty Gal store increased revenue to $28 million, Forbes named her one of the richest women in America who achieved success on her own. But as a result of a sudden blow, her marriage and career fell apart within 6 months. The Ultimate Dagger: The divorce and bankruptcy news came when a Netflix show about her life, Girlboss, was broadcast.

But Sofia didn't give up. She launched her book, podcast, media company and business class. After dropping out of a local college without a pedigree, she proved everyone wrong by starting many more businesses, including her newest business class, from which she brought her income to a million in less than a year.
