Industrious Gold Diggers: Women Who Made Their Own Money After Marrying Money
Rachel Roy
Rachel Roy is now a well-respected designer who creates beautiful clothes that are sold in the most luxurious stores in the world. But she started her career as an intern at Rocawear, where she caught the eye of Damon Dash when he still had money. After several years of dating, Roy married Dash despite his documented history of cheating. Can you blame her for using his cash while she could to start her own clothing line? She certainly has the design chops, as her frocks are gorgeous. Good for Roy for using Dash’s connections and capital to launch a lucrative brand of her own, that far outshines Rocawear today.
