30 Parents Who Made it Big

7. Kim Lavine

Kim Lavine wanted to make gifts for her children’s teachers, so she made little pillows filled with corn, accompanied by a little not explaining at they could be heated up or frozen to help their sore backs. The teachers genuinely loved these little pillows, and it dawned on Kim Lavine that she could sell them. She called them “Wuvit Pillows”, and started coming up with even more ideas from her own kitchen table. She became a millionaire from her sales, and eventually published a bestselling book called Mommy Millionaire.
