Lennon Ledbetter, a former Amway distributor who trains Amway distributors seems to be doing pretty well. Two years ago he bought a foreclosed mansion in Utah. And as far as I know he still lives there. He bought the sprawling 9 acre palace for the bargain price of $7 million (appraisals came in at over $20 million).

The previous owner was a [in]famous attorney named Keith Barton. According to a news story about the sale: “The new owner says he will be sympathetic to the Barton family and will allow them some time to move out.”

Judging from the size of the house, he probably needed a lot more than “some time” - as well as a fleet of moving trucks. It sounds like there was a bit of drama with the sale, too bad I missed the action (I mean auction)!

There are some great pictures of the house owned by Ledbetter on this blog. And no, I didn’t make up his name, as far as I know, it too is for real.

The moral of this story is there is hope - it might not be from being a distributor - or from selling product -  but offering services to those who do. Those who Believe. Just consider being a distributor on the job training for your next venture!
