(18,770 posts)Mike Lindell says there aren't many crack addicts who've become successful, but he's one of them.
"It can be done, people," he laughed.
The self-made multimillionaire and infomercial superstar created the MyPillow empire from scratch in 2004. He did it while addicted to drugs. "People say all the time that's one of the biggest miracles ever."
He's been clean and sober for over eight years, but his path from rags to riches and almost back to rags is an amazing American success story.
It is also one long, strange trip.

(14,487 posts)For roughly $1 million in civil penalties, the Minnesota-based company settled accusations that it lacked "competent and reliable scientific evidence" to support claims that the pillow could treat serious health conditions, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The state also claimed that while My Pillow said it was selected as "the official pillow of the National Sleep Foundation," it failed to disclose its financial ties with the sleep advocacy organization.
