BARRY BECK
Serial entrepreneur Barry Beck, along with his wife,
Marla, built Bluemercury (bluemercury.com)—the
luxury beauty retailer founded in 1999—into a
multi-million-dollar operation. They sold the
company to Macy’s in 2015 in a $210 million all-cash
deal, but the Becks continue to be the driving force
behind the business. Analysts say it is now valued at
$1 billion and accounts for one-seventh of Macy’s
market value. Clearly dedicated to his work, Beck is
equally passionate outside the office, whether he’s
collecting Ferraris, watches or tuxedos.
