Sara Blakely is no ordinary woman. The founder of Spanx - the much-adored female innerwear brand - became the youngest ever self-made female billionaire at age 41. An incident from almost 30 years ago that she shared recently tells us that she was always a go-getter.
One day ago, Sara took to Instagram to share a story from her college days.
Recalling the incident, she details how as a freshman in college in 1989, she and her friends came across a lovely ring at a jewellery shop in Gainesville, USA.
"He completely dismisses me and says, "only if you came in here in nothing but a bikini would i discount the price"" writes Ms Blakely in her Instagram post.
"The guy was helping other customers but when he looked up and saw me, he lost all the color in his face. I said, "I'm here for my discount." He froze. He literally did not know what to do. He finally said, "let me get my manager'." After he explained to the manager what he said, the manager made him honor it. I got the ring for $60."
