About Me

Anders Holch Povlsen built his fortune on fashion, primarily from retailer Bestseller. Povlsen's parents opened the family's first store in 1975 in the small Danish town of Ringkobing. He took over at age 28 and is now the sole owner of Bestseller, which peddles apparel under 11 brand names, including Jack&Jones, Only and Vero Moda.
