Hooray!! Google Makes Masseuse a Multimillionaire
Bonnie Brown was fresh from a nasty divorce in 1999, living with her sister and uncertain of her future. On a lark, she answered an ad for an in-house masseuse at Google, then a Silicon Valley start-up with 40 employees. She was offered the part-time job, which started out at $450 a week but included a pile of Google stock options that she figured might never be worth a penny.After five years of kneading engineers’ backs, Ms. Brown retired, cashing in most of her stock options, which were worth millions of dollars. To her delight, the shares she held onto have continued to balloon in value.
There is something so right about a woman following a divorce doing a job like this in a start up company coming away a few years later as a millionaire, all i can say is well done her. Hope she lives it up for the rest of her days.
