Dan Greiner (husband)

Date of birth: 1965

Lori and her beloved husband are a great example of a powerful couple when both are successful and hard-working. Although both keep privacy and don’t post any common pictures on social media, they are so happy together.

Dan and Lori met in 1996 in a sports bar, and since then became inseparable. They got married officially in 2010, and share their time between two homes: in Chicago, Illinois, and Philadelphia. Lori’s husband used to work in the company “Bell & Howell”, but then he focused his mind on his wife’s invention – the plastic jewelry box – and helped her to set up its production. Later Dan and his wife co-founded the company “For Your Ease Only, Inc.”, which in addition to jewelry boxes offers also fragrances, home utensils, etc.

Michael Husman (younger half-brother)

Michael is the son of Lori’s father and his second wife Cathy. He is a real estate agent, just like his dad. Lori and her half-brother seem to be not so close. At least, they can be seen in public together very rarely.

Lori Greiner is successful in everything she does, starting from hosting ABC’s TV show “Shark Tank” and ending with the invention of the jewelry box. The entrepreneur, TV host, and inventor, Lori holds four Emmy Awards and six Critic’s Choice Awards for her acting activity.

She was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. After graduation from school, she entered Loyola University Chicago, where Lori majored in communications. She started her career as a writer. Lori occasionally posted articles in “The Chicago Tribune”. In the early 1990s, she invented an earrings organizer – the jewelry box, which contained the antitarnish cabinet for golden and silver jewelry. She started selling her products through the QVC network. Soon Lori got the nickname “The Queen of QVC” after the success of her show “Clever & Unique Creations by Lori Greiner”, broadcasted through this network. Her invention immediately became popular and she sold about 300, 000 items over the US territory. After that, with her husband Dan Greiner, she co-founded the company “For Your Ease Only”.

Lori’s company earned more than $10 million within 13 years. The woman invented many useful things for the home and travel use. She is the holder of more than 100 patients.

As a successful entrepreneur, Lori decided to help other ambitious inventors to start their businesses. Since the 3rd season, she is a participant in the ABC show “Shark Tank”. One of the investors of the show, Greiner helped many startups to turn into big successful business gigs, including the most lucrative in Shark Tank history investment into Scrub Daddy texture-changing sponge.

She has entrepreneurship talent in her blood. Both her parents were self-employed, so since childhood, she knew that it was better to be a businessman than to be someone’s employee.
Lori gained initial success by selling her jewelry organizers, which she produced with the brand J.C. Penney. After that, she offered her product to the TV shopping network QVC, which rejected her. After that, she advertised her jewelry box through Home Shopping Network and sold 2, 500 items within a minute after the show start. Later QVC changed its mind and hired her.
Her “Clever and Unique Creations” show aired during recording 11 seasons on QVC.
Lori is involved in several charity activities. She spends thousands of dollars on many social organizations, like Kind Campaign, Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, etc. She thinks that she got a lot from her fate and she wants to give the part back to society.
