...brand-name appliances and other items direct to customers through catalogues by a network of 300,000 door-to-door salespeople. Amway's achievements are evident not only in its fleet of four corporate jets, its 119-ft. yacht (a 131-footer is on order) and its modern, saucer-shaped headquarters near Grand Rapids, but also in its founder's wealth.
