Lululemon Founder's Journey: From Fortune to Missed Billions
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Forbes
Chip Wilson, the founder of Lululemon, has been seeking a new legacy after leaving the company a decade ago. Despite his success and a net worth of $7 billion, largely from his remaining stake in Lululemon, Wilson has faced challenges, including a rare muscular dystrophy that he's now fighting through a $75 million pledge to cure. He's also invested in a European sportswear company and Vancouver real estate, while reflecting on his departure from Lululemon and its continued growth without him. His journey is marked by a mix of philanthropy, investment successes, and a struggle to move on from the brand he created.
