How Tory Burch Built Her Empire

New York socialite Tory Burch became the queen of fashion and a billionaire in less than a decade.
She packaged her "boho prep" style, and distributed it to the masses by launching her namesake company in 2004.
The core product of her aspirational brand, her signature Reva ballerina flat, priced at just under $200, hit a sweet spot in the market and quickly became a status symbol.
She has outpaced her competitors, Michael Kors and Coach, and the word on the street is that her company is on the road to go public.
Watch to find out more about Burch's road to success.

Try 2 ex billionaire husbands and a former CEO of LVMH as a current husband. Whole lotta self made over here.

Yes it is also who you know. Those flats are just flats. They must be insiders to get on Oprah.

You can have a millionaire whatever, but if you can't produce a great product, you may as well not have a millionaire anything... Tory Burch is actually my boss (and in no way does Tory Burch the person or The Company, reflect my opinions)... That being said, she's beautiful and kind above everything... She's self-made because she's done the work ! I admire her and Tory Burch Orange is The Bomb !!!!
