ONE business owner has been dubbed the “best boss in the world” after she gave all her staff $10,000 each and two first-class tickets anywhere as a thank you bonus. Sara Blakely dished out the lavish gifts after her underwear company Spanx received a record-breaking valuation of $1.2billion.

As she spins the object, she can be heard saying “why am I spinning a globe?” and then drops the bombshell news. “I’m spinning a globe because to celebrate this moment I have bought each one of you two first-class tickets to anywhere in the world,” she says. As staff broke into tears, she continued: “You know, if you want a trip, you might want to go out to a really nice dinner, you might want to go out to a really nice hotel so with every one of those two first class tickets to anywhere in the world, you are each getting $10,000.” Blakely also acknowledged the struggles women face in getting investors to fund their ideas. Addressing the room, she said: “This is a very big moment for each and every one of you, and I want to also toast the women that came before me and all of the women in the world who have not had this opportunity.
