How Kendra Scott Turned $500 Into $1 Billion | Glamour

In 2002, Kendra Scott invested $500 into her upstart jewelry business. In 2017, her company was valued at over $1,000,000,000. Kendra started her jewelry business because she couldn't find the jewelry that she was drawn to, pieces with semi-precious stones in unique shapes that were affordable. This is the story of how the "Born to Shine" author turned her door-to-door business into an empire.

[@dr.moniquemurondadpm6299]

Wow!!!!❤🎉

[@jaedevrick6621]

I just know that she probably offended a lot of people who went to design school and didn’t make it 😂😂

[@SoCalFreelance]

I turned five cents into $2 trillion dollars selling designer toothpicks.

[@jessicalynnstrom]

A little ironic because a lot of her earrings are like 200+ dollars

[@abigailmartin1326]

Does her stuff is made in china?

[@jujubees]

I just checked her website to see if I would like the jewelry and sorry but that is not affordable jewelry by any means.

[@guadalupesaenz2008]

She sure thrives for her lofty money. Greediness she loves it. Many get hungry everyday and she sells it like scanty gumball.

[@refinedisabilities]

Compared to Tiffany’s it is. That’s what she means.

[@ericpegler]

Most precious stone jewelry over $1,000. Kendra Scott jewelry is affordable

[@filming4you___]

get ya bag up

[@kaylabbones3281]

It’s actually a price point for everyone so if you can’t afford Kendra Scott that’s actually very sad. This ain’t no designer jewelry either.

[@caitlingurecki1609]

Dye magnesite for ridiculous pricing

[@markdobrais]

[@Michelle-rf8jf]

[@paigejohnson9201]

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

@@anpatman lol wow. Let me exit.

[@Laurajuly]

The jewelry is made in China!!

[@Laurajuly]

[@Laurajuly]

Lies the jewel is made in China 🇨🇳

[@seame3795]

2 things, she was married and had a father in law to help her financially. Just stop already lady. 🙄

[@andyicecream]

This isn’t your problem? Stop hating, there is no point. Read her book, then you’ll probably understand. How about you stop?

[@LivingListed]

Her father in law put in a good word. He didn’t give her money. Also, she had kids.

[@Slugoon]

@@LivingListed i think the word you're looking for is "nepotism"

[@lc-il6wr]

I don't like her jewelry!

[@lisamarielund6292]

Well, good for you! Nobody cares!

[@ericpegler]

Then don't buy it if you don't like it! Make your own jewelry and make your own billion $
