Mickey Drexler Net Worth $238 Million
Mickey Drexler spent his childhood in his hometown, where he was raised as the only child by his father, who worked as a businessman in the garment business industry, and his mother, who was a secretary. He attended the Bronx High School of Science, after which he enrolled at both the City College of New York, and the University at Buffalo. Beside that, he also earned an MBA degree from the Boston University Graduate School of Management.
Following graduation, Mickey’s career began when he was hired in the mid- 1970s as a merchandising vice president at Abraham & Straus Company, headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Beside that, he was also a part of other companies, such as Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, and the women’s wear brand Ann Taylor, where he stayed for three years, expanding the business of the company around America. Since then, his net worth has only gone upwards, as well as his popularity.
In 1983, Mickey was hired by Donald Fisher, a founder of Gap Inc., to work on the company’s portfolio of brands. In no time, the company began to gain enormous success with him in the position of the CEO, as he completely re-organized the strategy of the company, which soon became one of the iconic components of the popular culture of the 1990s; however, he was fired by Fisher in 2002, for reasons which are still unclear. Right after that, in 2003 he was hired by The J. Crew, a clothing and accessories retail company, which was founded in 1983, based in New York City. Since then, he has been working there as the CEO and chairman, re-establishing the company and lifting its success. All of these jobs added a considerable amount to his net worth.
Furthermore, in 1999, he became a director on the board of directors at Apple Inc., a multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California, staying in that position until 2015, and increasing his net worth by a large margin.
When it comes to speak about her personal life, Mickey Drexler has been married to Peggy since 1969, and the couple has two children together.
