Lori Greiner is among the most successful female investors in the US, but she wouldn’t have achieved this without her husband. Some men might feel intimidated by their spouse’s achievements but Dan isn’t that type of guy. Dan Greiner is the Vice President and CFO at Lori’s parent company, For Your Ease Only.
Background
Although his wife is a reality television star, Daniel Greiner shies away from the spotlight. He was born around 1970 and grew up in Chicago, Illinois.
Other than that, not much is known about his early life. He finished college around the same time Lori earned her bachelor’s degree. After college, Greiner qualified as a certified public accountant (CPA).
Meeting Lori
Dan first met Lori in 1996 at a bar in Lincoln Park, Chicago. Shortly after, they started living together. Dan was at Lori’s side when she created her signature earring organizer.
He continued to provide for his wife as she borrowed $120,000 against their home to get the business running. Once it became a massive hit, Dan quit his day job to help Lori full-time. While Lori was in charge of production, Dan was managing the finances.
The pair formed a great team! The earring organizer made $1 million in a year and sold out thanks to the Home Shopping Network. They set up For Your Ease Only in 1996 as a parent company to manage future products. Lori is the President and CEO, while Dan is VP and CFO.
Continued Success
By 2000, the couple were regularly promoting products on shopping channels such as QVC. As a result of their success, Lori Greiner is considered to be the Queen of QVC. Lori took on the limelight as Dan worked in the background.
In 2009, Lori was chosen to be one of the investors on Shark Tank. Since appearing in the series, she has invested early in huge success stories such as Scrub Daddy and EverlyWell.
Dan Greiner sometimes appears in the spinoff series Beyond the Tank to finalize deals with the founders. Although he is rarely seen in public, Dan is a big reason why Lori is where she is today.
Net Worth and Earnings
The majority of Dan Greiner’s wealth comes from For Your Ease Only, as he is an executive at the company. He has been with the firm since it was just selling a jewelry organizer.
Now, it’s a thriving business with an array of different products, ranging from jewelry organizers to kitchen accessories. Currently, Lori has an estimated net worth of $150 million, and her husband is worth $50 million.
Personal Life
Dan and Lori lived together for a while before getting married in 2010. The couple doesn’t have any children together. It’s possible, running a million-dollar business got in the way of starting a family. However, they own two homes: one in Chicago and one in Philadelphia.
