Rise of Diane Hendricks: The Life of America's Richest Self-Made Woman

Diane Hendricks wasn't born into wealth, didn't marry into it, and didn't stumble into success. Raised on a Wisconsin dairy farm as one of nine sisters, she became a teenage mother and dropped out of high school. Her path to becoming one of America's richest self-made women didn't begin with money - it began with early responsibility, quiet strength, and relentless drive.

This book traces how she went from waitress to co-founder of ABC Supply, one of the largest privately held companies in the country. Along the way, she turned local investment into community revival, shaped politics through business-backed conviction, and led a company through grief, growth, and decades of pressure - all while refusing to chase fame or follow trends.

"The Rise of Diane Hendricks" isn't just a business story. It's a story about staying focused when it would be easier to compromise, choosing discipline over drama, and showing what can happen when someone builds not for attention, but for longevity.

For readers who want to understand what "self-made" really means, and why quiet ambition is sometimes the strongest kind - this book offers the full picture.
