Herbalife Pays Over 36 Million in Distributor Bonuses
-
Herbalife Ltd., a global nutrition and direct selling company, paid out a record $36.4 million in bonuses to independent distributors at its Mark Hughes Bonus Award ceremony in Beverly Hills on Sunday. The independent distributors represented 30 countries and all have built their own businesses and achieved success through direct selling. With 90 checks over $100,000, the top six bonus winners received checks for $1 million or more.
?Herbalife stands at the intersection of health and wealth and we?re poised to positively address two key issues facing the world, unemployment and obesity,? said Herbalife Chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson. ?Our independent distributors that were honored come from every walk of life and find their passion and calling providing good nutrition with our products and business opportunity.?
Former U.S. Secretary of State Dr. Madeleine K. Albright addressed the group of over 1,200 independent distributors Friday. Albright also attended the annual fundraiser for the Herbalife Family Foundation Friday night, as did two-time Olympic skating champion and TV entertainer Katarina Witt, whose 2008 Farewell Tour was sponsored by Herbalife. Through its Casa Herbalife program, the Herbalife Family Foundation helps provide good nutrition to children in need. There are currently 40 such programs on five continents.
