Joy Mangano is one of the most celebrated female inventors of her time, having created and sold nearly $3 billion of product over her storied career.

Beginning in her father’s auto body shop, Joy invented and launched the self-wringing Miracle Mop, and she hasn’t looked back. Joy has gone on to invent and launch hundreds of successful products across virtually every category, most notably Huggable Hangers, My Little Steamer, Forever Fragrant, and luggage with her revolutionary Spinball Wheel System.
