Spanx CEO gifts all employees first-class plane tickets and $10,000

Spanx founder and CEO Sara Blakely has gifted her staff two first-class plane tickets and $10,000 each to express her gratitude for 21 years of success.

Speaking at a party last Thursday to mark the shapewear company’s new $1.2bn valuation, Blakely surprised each of her employees with a trip to their dream destination and a huge amount of spending money.

In a video posted to social media, she gave a globe spin and revealed all her staff will be jetting off in style with $10,000 in their pockets.
