I went on food stamps while pregnant. Years later, I sold my company for $47.5 million.

Ashley Tyrner-Dolce gave her daughter equity in FarmboxRx before its $47.5 million sale. Her daughter's money is now held in a trust.

Ashley Tyrner-Dolce was on food stamps during her infant daughter Harlow's early years. After her husband left her while she was pregnant, Ashley started a produce subscription box in New York City to make ends meet while working in fashion. Eleven years later, FarmboxRX, the company she built, was sold for $47.5 million, creating a trust fund for Harlow. Ashley ensured Harlow owned 30% of the company's stock, securing her daughter's financial future.
