Lululemon Founder's $6.1B Divorce: No Prenup!
7 Sep
Summary
- Lululemon founder Chip Wilson is divorcing his wife Shannon.
- The couple married in 2002 and has no prenuptial agreement.
- Wilson's fortune is estimated at $6.1 billion.
Billionaire Chip Wilson, the founder of Lululemon, is divorcing his wife of over two decades, Shannon Wilson. The couple, married in 2002, has filed family proceedings in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, with no prenuptial agreement in place. This lack of an agreement could lead to significant financial realignments.
Wilson's net worth is estimated at approximately $6.1 billion. His holdings include an 8.6% stake in Lululemon, valued close to $1 billion, and a nearly 18% stake in Amer Sports, worth nearly $3 billion. Shannon Wilson also holds a 1% stake in Lululemon, valued around $100 million.
Shannon was instrumental in Lululemon's early success, serving as its founding lead designer. Chip Wilson has credited her significantly for her role in building the company. She later co-founded the luxury apparel company Kit and Ace in 2014.
Chip Wilson departed from Lululemon in 2013 after facing criticism for controversial remarks about the company's products and customers. He has continued to be an influential shareholder, launching a proxy battle against the company's leadership in December 2025.
