Blakely shared an emotional video of the announcement on social media, depicting some employees shedding tears of joy.
Laughed at
Blakely, who started the company in 2000, emotionally recounted how she was laughed at when she said Spanx would be worth one day be worth N8,119,316,235.80
"When I first started, I wrote one goal down saying this company will one be worth N8,119,316,235.80, and everybody laughed at me.
"But I always believed in our mission. Being authentic and kind and delivering amazing products to women,” she said, fighting back the tears.
Blakely also decried that women entrepreneurs are not getting the chances their male counterparts enjoy during the speech.
“There aren’t enough women getting funding. For example, 50% of entrepreneurs are women but only 2.5% receive funding,” she said.
21 years of magic
Blakely, accompanied by her daughter for the announcement, captioned the video by stating:
“It was an emotional announcement filled with happy tears acknowledging how far we’ve come. I really want every employee to celebrate this moment in their own way and create a memory that will last them a lifetime!
"Cheers to 21 years of magic and many more to come,” she wrote.
