The Wealth of Lori Greiner
How rich is Lori Greiner? As of mid-2018, sources inform us of a net worth that is estimated at $100 million, earned through success in her numerous endeavors – she holds 120 foreign and US patents, and is credited for inventing more than 600 products during her career, and is considered one of the most prolific inventors of our time. As she continues her career, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.
Education and Career Beginnings
After completing her degree, she began designing her own jewelry which she sold while also working as a playwright. Eventually she would create her first invention, a plastic earring organizer which had the capability of neatly storing 100 pairs of earrings, which she patented. According to reports, she borrowed money to help create the product which was later bought by J. C. Penney. She had thus discovered that she had a knack for inventing, and borrowed around $300,000 to help her start her business, and repaid it in 18 months.
She initially found success as a part of the Home Shopping Network, and never really intended to invent so many items, but her success led her to continue that path. She later moved to the larger network QVC, launching an arsenal of new products which would eventually lead her to have her own show on the network, entitled “Clever & Unique Creations”.
Shark Tank
One of the biggest successes in the show was the company Scrub Daddy, which produces a texture changing household sponge which Greiner invested in. It became highly successful and even sold more than 2 million sponges on QVC during its first day alone. The show has since been called the biggest success in “Shark Tank” history and it has sold of $100 million worth in products. The company has also a variety of new products to offer.
