Work It Wednesday! Amway Proved to Be Magic for Senior
Work It Wednesday!
Adia In-Home Care has a number of clients who continue to work while enjoying semi-retirement. For Work It Wednesday! we will be highlighting seniors who keep busy with work well into their 70s, 80s, and yes, even 90s, proving that age really is just a number.
Richard DeVos, Age 85
In 1959, Amway launched a business model fueled through the power of relationships. The original product offered in this model, was Liquid Organic Cleaner (L.O.C.). It was the first concentrated, bio-degradable, and environmentally friendly cleaning product. Since then, Amway has expanded from home products to a global leader in the categories of health and beauty. The company Richard DeVos started with high school friend Jay Van Andel in 1959 has netted him over $4.4 billion in sales over his lifetime.
DeVos isn’t working with Amway any longer since he stepped down in 1993, but that doesn’t mean he’s retired. He now spends his time focusing on owning and managing the Orlando Magic and ran for governor of Michigan in 2006. Not bad for 85!
