The REAL founder of Victoria's Secret commited suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge and it wasn't Les Wexner. I think Q knows who the REAL FOUNDER of Victoria's Secret was, and the owner committed suicide by jumping off a bridge, "On August 26, 1993 Raymond committed suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. He was last seen alive walking toward the bridge, and shortly thereafter his body washed up on the shores of Marin County. Investigators concluded that he had committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. He and his wife, Gaye, had divorced earlier that year. Gaye speculated he suffered from depression, possibly due to business failures". "3366 Dig: Les Wexner Q !!mG7VJxZNCI 8 Jul 2019 - 7:33:03 PM Les Wexner. Founder of Victoria's Secret. Connect the dots. Q" "Victoria's Secret is an American designer, manufacturer, and marketer of women's lingerie, womenswear, and beauty products. The company was FOUNDED in 1977 by Roy and Gaye Raymond. Raymond picked the name "Victoria" after Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom to associate with the refinement of the Victorian era. The "Secret" was what was hidden underneath the clothes. The “angels” comes from his wife being in a sorority, Pi Beta Phi, where their mascot was an angel. Victoria's Secret grossed $500,000 in its first year of business, enough to finance the expansion from a headquarters and warehouse to four new store locations and a mail-order operation.  By 1982, the fourth store (still in the San Francisco area) was added at 395 Sutter Street.[ Victoria's Secret stayed at that location until 1990, when it moved to the larger Powell Street frontage of the Westin St. Francis. In April 1982, Raymond sent out his 12th catalog; each catalog cost $3 (equivalent to $7.95 in 2019).  Catalog sales accounted for 55% of the company's $7 million annual sales in 1982. The Victoria's Secret stores at this time were "a niche player" in the underwear market. The business was described as "more burlesque than Main Street." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria%27s_Secret WHY THE FOUNDER OF VICTORIA"S SECRET THREW HIMSELF OFF OF A BRIDGE. The Victoria’s Secret show costs more than $10 million to put on and is hailed as one of the most important fashion shows in the world.  What is not so known about the company is the tragic story of its founder, Roy Raymond.  Raymond started the company after being influenced by a shopping trip he’d just taken with his wife. The saddest part about Raymond’s life is that he killed himself after not being able to participate fully in the potential of his company.   Raymond opened the first Victoria’s Secret shop in Northern California in 1977.  They named the company after the Victorian period during which their home was built. “My husband Roy had spoken to Les Wexner a few times about working together, but ultimately Roy felt he couldn’t share decision-making, and was happier getting out completely,” says Gaye. Of course, the selling price was just a fraction of what the company is worth today.  According to most recent estimates, the company’s value now exceeds $13 billion, making it a huge score for Wexner and company. Roy went on to try other projects, like a store called “My Child’s Destiny,” which sold children’s products.  The company went bankrupt in 1986.  He’d invested nearly a million dollars of his own money in the business and was made personally liable for all of its debts after never getting it incorporated.  He then split with his wife shortly after losing everything. Roy and Gaye divorced in 1993 when Victoria’s Secret was flying high as the largest retailer in the United States.  Roy tried other projects, but could never get anything going. “He went through a couple of business failures and I think he suffered depression,” says Gaye. “He borrowed a lot of money from his mother. He was trying to start another company but things didn’t go well, and he saw only one way out.” “It’s so sad, because he was young, creative, really a brilliant businessman, but he suffered setbacks and couldn’t seem to bounce back from them. He felt he couldn’t go on,” she said. https://standardtimespress.org/?p=3424
