About Me

Ty Warner is the creator of Beanie Babies, the plush toy fad of the 1990s. Warner used the profits from selling Beanie Babies to assemble a high-end hotel portfolio, including the Four Seasons in New York. Ty Inc. still sells Beanie Babies but has expanded its offerings to include toys like Beanie Boos and Beanie Bellies. His Las Ventanas al Paraiso resort in Mexico rents its Ty Warner Mansion for $35,000 a night. Warner has donated $100 million in cash and toys to the Children's Hunger Fund since 2005.
