The entrepreneur who built an empire of odor:Suzy Batiz has done many things in pursuit of a successful venture including: opening a tanning salon, starting a clothing line; and selling cheap lingerie at a markup to strippers. And then came the product that made her one of America’s richest self-made women: Poo-Pourri. Yep, the before-you-go toilet spray catapulted her net worth to more than $240 million. I’m not exaggerating when I say her entrepreneurial journey is a fascinating one. (The New Yorker)
