Speaking about her education, Debbie, the founder and the CEO of GoldieBlox, graduated with a degree in Mechanical engineering and product design from Stanford University in 2005. She was recommended by her math teacher to be a Train Conductor and had suggested pursuing a study in engineering.
Then, she did not know why her teacher wanted her to be a train conductor. But as she realized few numbers of women in the program, she couldn’t help herself from disrupting the pink aisle with a toy that would introduce girls to the fun but knowledgeable engineering.
However, her journey to the GoldieBlox wasn’t comfortable. She faced several criticisms and negligent from toy companies. She had to raise around $300,000 for GoldieBlox on Kickstarter.
Career & Net Worth
“Just because this is the way things are doesn’t mean this is how they have to be,” said Debbie in an interview with TED talk in 2013. Well! The saying has a deep meaning.
According to the 2012 congressional report, only 14 percent of engineers in the US were women. Just like the saying, Debbie always had wanted to change the scenario of the dominating male society since the beginning. With a motive of inspiring the next generation of female engineers, Debbie gave birth to an innovative and interactive idea, GoldieBlox, in 2012.
The GoldieBlox is now in a run of 7 years of establishment, and Debbie has not only taken over the market but also has inspired and encouraged many girls towards science, technology, math, and engineering.

Along with the good deed, the Los Angeles native also receives a good fortune from her business. Founded GoldieBlox in 2012, Debbie has sold a million sets of construction-toys by now and generated millions of net worth.

However, it is not the salary she earns, but the great work she has done for the future generation. More than the salary she earns, Debbie is worth praising and admiring for the jobs she has done.
