Lori Greiner is an American television personality, inventor, and entrepreneur. She is an investor on the reality TV show Shark Tank and its spin-off Beyond the Tank. She has been known as the "Queen of QVC" since the 2000 premiere of her show, Clever & Unique Creations.[1][2] Greiner is the president and founder of For Your Ease Only, Inc.[3][4]

Life

Greiner grew up in the Near North Side, Chicago.[3] She majored in communications at Loyola University Chicago and worked for The Chicago Tribune while in college.[5] She was briefly a playwright and sold jewelry.[4] She is married to Dan Greiner.[5]

Career

In 1996, Greiner created and patented a plastic earring organizer. J.C. Penney picked up the product before the holiday season, allowing her to pay off her $300,000 loan in eighteen months.[6][7] Greiner has patented consumer products in other categories such as cosmetic organization, jewelry storage, travel, electronics, and household items.[8][9]

After her success with J.C. Penney, Greiner expanded her company, with her product appearing on Home Shopping Network[6] and in the retail store Bed, Bath and Beyond.[citation needed] Shortly afterwards, she transitioned to QVC, and in 2000, she launched Clever & Unique Creations, one of the longest-running shows on the network.[10][11]

In 2012, Greiner joined the U.S. TV series Shark Tank. In 2014, her investment in Scrub Daddy, a company that produces a texture-changing household sponge, was regarded as one of the biggest successes in Shark Tank history.[12][13] Greiner's other early Shark Tank investments include Bantam Bagels (which was fully acquired by T. Marzetti Company in 2014),[14] Squatty Potty,[15] ReadeRest,[2][15] Paint Brush Cover,[15] Hold Your Haunches,[15] Drop Stop,[15] FiberFix,[15] Simply Fit Board,[6] Sleep Styler,[11] and Screenmend.[15]

In March 2014, she authored the book Invent it, Sell it, Bank it! – Make Your Million Dollar Idea into a Reality, a how-to guide based on her entrepreneurial journey.[3][5]
