Tony Hsieh
Tony Hsieh, the retired CEO of online shoe retailer Zappos.com, has died. He was 46.
Hsieh was with family when he died on Nov. 27, according to DTP Companies, which he founded. He died of injuries suffered in a Nov. 18 fire in New London, Connecticut.
Hsieh was a Harvard University graduate who joined Zappos—then called ShoeSite.com—in 1999. Zappos was sold to Amazon for $1.2 billion in 2009, but Hsieh had remained with the company until his retirement.
Doesn’t know him but I do shed some tears for such a GREAT person he was. I think he continues to be a legend in people’s hearts. To his parents, it is an honor to have him as a son and also that he is 1st class representative of the Asian race!!
