About this episode

Lorna Luxe discusses her journey from cabin crew to building a multi-million dollar business while navigating grief and the complexities of her age gap marriage.

What happens when you go from cabin crew to scaling a multi-million business empire…only to lose the man who helped make it all happen? Lorna Luxe, founder, creator, and fashion icon, joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to break down the brutal reality of out-earning her 21-year age gap marriage, the undeniable force of “The Lorna Luxe Effect”, and scaling a multi-million dollar business while grieving her late husband, John.  Lorna pulls back the curtain on the unedited reality behind her rise: from leaving millions on the table by not monetizing her first 500K followers to turning her everyday hobbies into massive paychecks, and why she doesn't even like her Birkin anymore.
