Leonard A. Lauder, Chairman Emeritus of The Estée Lauder Companies, is working on a memoir about growing up with the 74-year-old company and his famous mother who began the business in her kitchen. The book is described as an insider’s account of building the global beauty empire, which is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and marketers of prestige skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair care products, with annual sales of more than $13 billion. In the book, currently untitled, Mr. Lauder will delve into pragmatic lessons on business, philanthropy, leadership and life. He is also expected to share lively stories, sharp observations and the lessons he’s learned throughout his career. HarperCollins Publishers negotiated a deal for world rights of the book, which is set to be published in 2020.
