George Zimmer’s Net Worth
George Zimmer, the American retail entrepreneur, has a net worth of $200 million. He made his fortune as the CEO and Founder of The Men’s Warehouse, a clothing chain he founded with college roommates in 1973 in Houston, Texas.
Over the next 30 years, the company expanded to more than 1200 stores across the U.S. and Canada, with Zimmer becoming famous for appearing in its commercials. His trademark slogan, “You’re gonna love the way you look, I guarantee it,” became a household phrase.
Zimmer was born in New York City, graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with an Economics degree, and currently lives in Piedmont, California with his second wife and two children.
On June 19, 2013, Zimmer was fired by the board of The Men’s Wearhouse without explanation. As of June 2013, he owns 3.6% of the outstanding Men’s Wearhouse shares, worth roughly $66 million. Back in 1997, he owned as much as 15% of the company, and in the last decade, he has sold $80 million worth of shares according to SEC filings made by the company.
