T odd Christopher is a self-made American billionaire who built his fortune in the hair care industry. He is the founder of Vogue International, the company behind the popular OGX brand of shampoos and conditioners. He got his start in the business working as a salon consultant in Florida. In 1987, he founded his own company, which initially focused on producing hair care products for other brands. He later decided to launch his own brand.
His major breakthrough came with the creation of the OGX brand (formerly Organix), which stood out on crowded store shelves with its distinctive, stout bottle shape and its focus on exotic ingredients. The brand became a massive success, and Vogue International grew into a major player in the mass-market hair care segment. In 2016, he sold the company to the consumer goods giant Johnson & Johnson for $3.3 billion in an all-cash deal. This sale was the source of his billion-dollar fortune. He now focuses on philanthropy and his passion for car collecting.
