How Greiner got rich
From an early age Greiner was taught by her parents to earn a living from her own business rather than be an employee. She and her husband Dan don’t have children of their own, but today she does pay it forward by mentoring young people using the lessons she has learned along the way.
Greiner’s first million dollars came from selling jewellery storage pieces in the 1990s, and after her earrings organiser took off, she went from rich to even richer. The Chicago, Illinois, native has hosted the shopping channel QVC’s Clever & Unique Creations show for 20 years, earning her the nickname of the “QVC Queen”.
Made for the screen
Greiner studied film, TV and journalism at Loyola University Chicago and was even a playwright at one point so her knack for the small screen dovetails with her business skills. She even has her own production company Good Place Entertainment.
