DeAnne Stidham Net Worth and Career

Since DeAnne used to go to church, there would be women who would buy boutique clothes from her since they wanted to look elegant while going to church. However, with bigger competitors, this small business of DeAnne wasn’t taking off. One day, one of her daughters had requested DeAnne to make her a Maxi skirt. At first, DeAnne hesitated and mentioned that it might be better if she went and bought one. However, those in the market were not feeling comfortable for her taller daughter.

As a result, DeAnne created a Maxi skirt for her daughter and soon her friends started to ask where she got it. She received more than 40 orders because of this. Within six months, DeAnne had been able to sell more than 20,000 such skirts while they were still operating from their home. Her husband, Mark was involved in his line of contracting work but with the growth of the business, he also would come aboard to help DeAnne.

This is when LuLaRoe was born in 2013 which has been derived from the names of her granddaughters such as Lucy, Lola, and Monroe. One of the goals that the company started with seeing the existing gap in the market was that there should be more options for comfortable clothing that is modest as well. This modesty has also inspired the values that DeAnne adopted from the church.

Personal Life

After meeting in 1998, DeAnne and Mark have been together ever since. LuLaRoe is known to have hired most of their senior management team from the family itself considering the huge number of offspring that are present of DeAnne and Mark.

In the new docuseries on LuLaRoe called LuLaRich, it is even mentioned that on the 6^th floor where the management worked, 85% of the people there were from the Stidham family itself.
