Summary

Kym Gold’s mantra, “never settle for a no; always look for a yes,” is what led her to co-create True Religion Brand Jeans, a major retail clothing company that sold for close to a billion dollars in 2013. On Valentine’s Day in 2007, she was served divorce papers by her then husband and had her company ripped from under her—all within an hour. Since then, she has reestablished her place in the industry and catapulted herself into the coveted 1 percent of the richest Americans and pivoted into her new business in the home space; Style Union Home. She achieved all this whilst raising three sons, writing a book and producing films. And as if that wasn’t enough reason to be in awe, her first husband of five years was Mark Burnett, the creator of Survivor and reality television as we know it. Kym is the epitome of a girl boss and definitely our new BFF! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
