Brett Blundy is the former chairman of BB Retail, selling jewelry, lingerie and homewares. He sold some property and retail interests in three IPOs. He's now building a beef cattle empire in northern Australia to feed Asian demand. He has joined with cattle-station owners in Australia's Northern Territory to fund water supply, enabling properties to carry larger herds.In 2010, he cofounded fast fashion jewelry retailer Lovisa, which has over 270 stores worldwide.
Blundy's interest in business started early. He grew up on a small farm near Melbourne where he and his four siblings would pick mushrooms to sell from a roadside stall for five cents a pound. His career dream was to be a pilot, but that was thwarted when he failed the final year of school.At age 20, Blundy bought a run-down record store in a suburb called Packenham with a friend. The business failed, and they had to take on day jobs to support it.
