To the aspiring children of immigrants out there working at the local family business, your hard work could be setting the stage for a beautiful success story. Take self-made millionaire beauty mogul Toni Ko as a leading example.
Ko came here from Korea at the age of 13. Growing up working at her parents’ retail beauty supply business built up a sturdy foundation and knowledge for her first venture into the beauty business: launching her own makeup brand, NYX Cosmetics, at the young age of 25. It’s no surprise that, after generating over $4 million in retail sales her first year, the business took off and she sold NYX to L’Oreal in 2014 for a reported $500 million.
