Dear Friends, Before women entrepreneurs were a thing, there was Mrs B. In 1937, Mrs B started the Nebraska Furniture Mart with $500 in cash. In 1983, she sold it to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway for a cool $60 million. She was famous for her rock-bottom prices. The $60 million price tag was also a bargain, but more on that later.
