He changed my view about work and business, he delivered happiness and hope with his book and ideas, he is goon, but alive in his book, delivering happiness to other people.
He was a very sweet, idealistic, but also innovative, man. For such people mundane life, even after career success, still feels hollow. He couldn’t find the kind of love and consistent happiness his heart and soul longed for and that plagued him, along with fears and despair over things he saw unfolding in the Country and in the world. For some people, heaven is the only place they will ever be truly happy. Just a shame he went too soon. RIP, Tony,.
I just finished reading his book delivering happiness when the tragic news surfaced. A great book and an amazing story about his company. RIP Tony, a real inspiration 🙏.
RIP Tony -A huge loss for our society -its heartbreaking - I read this book - Delivering Happiness and this man was a true genius ...very few people can touch lives like he did
Having Tony’s wealth basically stripped his life of sincerity, trust and true friendships. At some point you have to realize that your “ friends” are all on the payroll. I feel he died of loneliness without really experiencing what it really feels like to be loved for you and not the size of you bank account.
I did as well, I was honored by him by giving away over 100 of his books. I spoke to him twice, he was a brilliant, good and kind man. If anyone dares to discredit this they didn't know him, and are fools.
@@dleimkuehler the Thrift Stores in Las Vegas have many copies of his book. The town also has an entire zip code full of his silly RE ventures empty.. It amazes me just how easily it is to con so many people. Just whisper sweet nothing into their ears...
I visit downtown Vegas, my favorite place. I get a lump in my throat, when I think of how he brought it back to life. Sad story & I wonder if something could have been done for his health. It reminds me of a modern Howard Hughes story.
There is a good group of us who were close to him that didn't join him in Utah. But I guess that group of us have our own money and businesses. He was soft-spoken with a big heart. I was with him the first time he did public speaking and his right leg wouldn't stop shaking. Haha. He was so nervous. Since his death he has visited me in my dreams. It's a crazy feeling. Very sad times. All the best and take care - Ryan
Tony was caught in his OWN world. Looking at all the stories you can tell that his family created a so called environment of success that is NOT livable and he grew up trying to please them per say. They wanted him to play instruments or be a doctor or lawyer. But he chose neither of the above. He pleased them with going to Harvard. But Tony indicated that he cheated in school. Thus, at Zappos he was trying to created the so called perfect environment for a worker to be. But in the end he was the CEO. He was single and had NO significant other than the pets he had. He did NOT look happy in the interviews he did. There was NO emotion there. No laughing. No joking like the employees. Thus, Tony was looking and looking for his OWN nirvana and in this planet he did NOT FIND IT. It did NOT fulfilled him.
He was responsible for the revamping of Downtown Las Vegas. He gave small businesses a chance to succeed within his re-development of Downtown Las Vegas. He was a silent pioneer
He was going through a tough period, but anyone who had interacted with him prior to 2020, knew how truly amazing, special, warm, fun, and loving he was. He was lonely at times, like anyone, but he had a ton of friends, and not everyone was just out to get money. Things seemed to change in 2020 once Covid hit and he left Zappos and Vegas. The combination of just a few small things, taken to the extreme, and maybe a handful of the wrong people led to tragedy. I thought Park City would have been a breath of fresh air, a place to start over, and a chance to imagine the future. The plans I saw and heard when I visited PC a year ago were interesting. Still so sad and shocked. He was truly a radiant person.
Tony was a genuinely nice guy. Unlike most people of his stature, he was very open and welcoming to everyone who came into his life. This resulted in him being surrounded by vultures, grifters, and enablers.
Tragic story of addiction. My now ex husband worked there for years and also had a problem with alcohol addiction that I believe ruined my marriage. We had even traveled with Tony and one trip he had two different gals one for half the week, another for the remaining. Too much party.
Addiction is another word for rust. It's one way nature recycles what is not just. Nothing more complex to it than that...if you are addicted, you are in the process of being recycled. have fun.
This is an important perspective to share with readers and viewers, especially because the topic of longevity is at the forefront of many people’s minds. For example, I’d love my lifetime to be more than 150 year’s, but I must be conscious of seeking to understand both sustainable and healthy ways to do so. May Tony Hsieh rest in peace. 🙏🏼
Very sad. I remember being hired at Zappos call center in 2003 and during the training, both Tony and Nick came in personally and spoke to the new hires. Both guys were really cool and strolled in wearing flip-flops and floral Hawaiin print shorts lol. It made meeting the owners pretty comfortable because they were so chill.
Tony did have real friends and not everyone knew him, and not everyone can understand what someone experiences over time. Tony was one of the kindest and most generous people to ever live and he helped artists all the time. Everyone should value who a person is and this is a tragedy to lose such a talented person and any death like this should be deemed highly suspicious. WHERE IS TONY HSIEH'S WILL?
Just goes to show money doesn't bring happiness. Addiction causes severe depression and a lack of sleep which will ultimately cause you to feel suicide. I know, I've gone through it. Don't try drugs people thinking you can control your habit because at first you might be able to but then out of nowhere you start getting withdrawls and bam you're addicted. The withdrawls are horrible I can't even compare them to anything and ultimately it makes you an addict because you'll constantly use just so you won't get sick. Don't do it pleaseeee! Also getting on meds psych meds with doctors try not to take them longer then 6 months because they all cause withdrawls even the ones that aren't narcotics. I got put on sleeping meds then after more then a year I tried to stop taking them and I got soo friggin sick vomiting every 20 mins, my whole body hurting like as if I was hit by a truck. Worse feeling ever, I felt like I was going to die!!
Money makes people more eccentric and ill. I worked for someone whose entitled world became so twisted that they became delusional. I'm reminded of Howard Hughes, Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson.
yea, dont get it. I'm assuming amazon was dominating, and people werent buying in zappos. So, he probably sold it to them. How he did? probbaly was murder
Wealth and ego can be a pretty bad mixture. Add a bunch of sycophants always telling you yes plus a drug problem and life must have been really frustrating and confusing for him.
I see that this video brings some stuff to light but i will always be skeptical because media and news companies are always incentivised to tell a story and to find it nomater what
He preached about happiness in life but hardly a happy person. He was definitely not at peace with himself and life. He didn’t have relationship with God. He filled his emptiness / vacuum by experimenting with drugs and harming his body. Truly tragic.
Maybe, he was too high, and he did not hear them, maybe he was having an hallucination that someone was after him, or he was sleeping and in this state he became unconscious of the smoke inhalation. Who knows?
The girl was awesome. Explained well and voice was loud and clear as it should be. The guy however meds to find another job. He cannot be a reporter when he hardly opens his mouth while speaking!?! We can't even heat his voice. Can't you find more competent and confident people to do the job? Fire him, replace him.
Joy is in doing good and giving others happiness can also give the giver happiness as well the money would help with services to our community money can be good or evil just depends on how you value it People tend to ask if you had one wish. ..... To see people..... value and care about others
He did great, he just forgot to spend time with the source of his wealth which is God. Fame, popularity is vanity upon vanity if God is not involved in one’s life.

Mental and physical health is wealth. Not money
He wasn't happy himself but yet he delivered happiness to other people. So sad 😞
Reminds me of the late Robin Williams.
I think he delivered shoes, not actual happiness.
It's always like that

True statement
Absolutely correct
Rip Tony. We can't see you but we will always remember you
I read the book years ago and got to know Tony. I never met him in person yet feel sad and shaken by this.
I did as well, I was honored by him by giving away over 100 of his books. I spoke to him twice, he was a brilliant, good and kind man. If anyone dares to discredit this they didn't know him, and are fools.
@@dleimkuehler thank you for your kind words. Make us appreciate his brilliance and kindness even more.

“Health is wealth take care of yourself” wish I took this into consideration sooner
Thank you for the wise words.
Can you please elaborate on why you wish you took this into consideration sooner?
In short he had no real friends. Just people around him for the money. Jewel was probably the realest friend he had.
There is a good group of us who were close to him that didn't join him in Utah. But I guess that group of us have our own money and businesses. He was soft-spoken with a big heart.

Good analysis. Who do you think IS truly happy today?
I always knew this man made scamdemic will end one day. Too bad he set himself out as an addicted party animal who's around constant preying vultures.
He was responsible for the revamping of Downtown Las Vegas. He gave small businesses a chance to succeed within his re-development of Downtown Las Vegas. He was a silent pioneer

I used to love Zappos- the commercials, the idea, so great. Now that Amazon has stolen that idea, it is not fun anymore.
Tony was a genuinely nice guy. Unlike most people of his stature, he was very open and welcoming to everyone who came into his life. This resulted in him being surrounded by vultures, grifters, and enablers.
Just goes to to show that just because you have millions or billions doesn't mean life is all good.
so damn true
true

What does it profit a man, if he gains the Whole World, but loses his soul? 10 Commandments...NOT 10 Core Values.
Addiction is another word for rust. It's one way nature recycles what is not just. Nothing more complex to it than that...if you are addicted, you are in the process of being recycled. have fun.
@@johndough23 that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard
This was a fallen addict story. Not about Gone Too Soon.
He was lost after selling Zappos to Amazon. So sad, he was buying his friends.
That is sad , unfortunately this happens very often with rich people.
@@lavonnealexander6936 I am starting to feel that being extremely rich is like a curse
@@lavonnealexander6936 Right you can only really be friends with other rich people
This worsen his drug addiction!
ironic ending for the guy who wrote delivering happiness
I would love to see Forbes do the same profile on Steve Jobs in this manner
The Fruit Lobby will not allow that...he died from eating too many apples...LITERALLY.
who said God is not a comedian?
The only reason people do drugs is to to escape from inner pain. Whatever plagued Tony we shall never know. Maybe even he didn’t know...
S true words only to escape from reality

That's really sad ending for great humna being
AT THE END :
WHAT WE GIVE TO THE POOR IS WHAT WE TAKE WITH US.
Now his friends are unemployed
Very Sad I remember watching him on the Oprah show back in the day
Can the sound be more lower?
I never heard of him but this is sad
Hey is always see your comments on graham stephans channel 😅 but yes this is so sad and unfortunate

Once they peaked. Then what?
@@rollzolo they become certifiably crazy or die
Wow... 😥😔🙏
He was SO young.
This proves not even BILLIONS can buy you happiness
Money folks is not Happiness.... So sad, So Young. RIP :o(
RIP Tony.
No one in his "entourage" had the courage to tell him that he was out of control.
They were paid to be complice!
Hsieh is pronounced Shay?
Yes. My uncle's last name is Hsieh and that his how I would pronuce it.
😭Sad so very sad. 😭
Dang Tony. He had a personal blog and he was posting research on addiction
Money is the root of all evil. He would have been happier-and alive-living a monk’s life in Tibet
Nitrous Oxide Induced Psychosis Via B12 Inhibition is what killed tony
i still dont understand why he sold zappos…… only he could truely run zappos like zappos
yea, dont get it. I'm assuming amazon was dominating, and people werent buying in zappos. So, he probably sold it to them. How he did? probbaly was murder
Instead of Jewel running away from him after only one day maybe she should’ve stuck around to try to help him out...
Wealth and ego can be a pretty bad mixture. Add a bunch of sycophants always telling you yes plus a drug problem and life must have been really frustrating and confusing for him.
Totally relate to this.
He didn’t seem to have a big ego, idk
His brother supplied the drugs.and started his addiction in the first place
His brother is responsible for supplying 50 whippits a day
Great reporting. So he died of life hacking/sleep deprivation/ questionable “friends”.
It was good journalism. Hsieh is pronounced SHiiii-EH ok?
🤐
Ok bro
Read about Samson and Delilah and you will understand whats happened to him
I see that this video brings some stuff to light but i will always be skeptical because media and news companies are always incentivised to tell a story and to find it nomater what
i just found out about this, i cant believe it
Eerie parallels to the demise of Qin Shi Huang …….
Rip Tony
Brilliant to start Zappos, but not brilliant to sell Zappos to Amazon unless he just needed the money Amazon offered.
He preached about happiness in life but hardly a happy person. He was definitely not at peace with himself and life. He didn’t have relationship with God. He filled his emptiness / vacuum by experimenting with drugs and harming his body. Truly tragic.
Come on let's keep it real, the drugs fucked him up, and of course all the phonies he had around him.
100% agree .. True happiness comes from our mighty creature called Lord God , Jesus , Yahweh, Jehovah etc ..
Billion dollars couldn’t save him from his mortality - I think he committed suicide - why didn’t he open the door
may have been unconscious. but he had to know he was tempting death.
Maybe, he was too high, and he did not hear them, maybe he was having an hallucination that someone was after him, or he was sleeping and in this state he became unconscious of the smoke inhalation. Who knows?
Who was this guy? And what’s his relation to me? Fire starvation no food , he tested the simulator and broke it
No new info
Another Good & Caring Envisioner wasted by Demonic Drugs & Psychotic Alcohol abuses! ...
He was murdered! There’s more into this!
What a lovely friend to leave hard evidence to justify the consequence! It's all his own fault now.
Not great reporting.
The girl was awesome. Explained well and voice was loud and clear as it should be. The guy however meds to find another job. He cannot be a reporter when he hardly opens his mouth while speaking!?! We can't even heat his voice. Can't you find more competent and confident people to do the job? Fire him, replace him.
Trash his name after he's dead. Sounds like BS!
Money does not buy happiness
He Changed So Many Lives But Ya U Dumb
And Ya George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People
Joy is in doing good and giving others happiness can also give the giver happiness as well the money would help with services to our community money can be good or evil just depends on how you value it
People tend to ask if you had one wish. .....
To see people..... value and care about others
Yeah right. Those who are not happy are mentally sick
If you quit that place you get withdrawal, huh, hmmm.
He did great, he just forgot to spend time with the source of his wealth which is God. Fame, popularity is vanity upon vanity if God is not involved in one’s life.
Too may drugs man smh
You are News or story sells associates
Hsieh is so bad!
Thanks Forbes! I can see you dug real deep here, rehashing things that had already been printed months ago. ClickBait! Period! Pathetic.
too much nos
He was an addict... stop lying.
