CEO Who Gave $70,000 Minimum Wage Is Surprised With A $70K Tesla For His B-Day [Watch]

• True Activist

In 2015, the CEO of Gravity Payments, Dan Price, overheard a female employee sharing that she could barely make ends meet with her current salary. Distressed, he decided to do something revolutionary: he raised the minimum salary for all employees to $70,000 a year.

Many criticized the bold entrepreneur, saying he was sure to run his company into the ground, but exactly the opposite has happened. In fact, an infographic details exactly how the turnover rate has improved since a 5-digit salary was promised to all 120 employees.

Turnover is now at its lowest level in Gravity's history, and because sales are booming, 50 more employees were hired. In fact, the company, which processes credit card transactions for small businesses, has experienced a 30% transaction increase for clients. In effect, profits have nearly doubled in the past year – from $3.5 million to $6.5 – with more companies signing up.

Good business isn't the only way Price has been rewarded for being generous to those who have been loyal to the company. Recently, the visionary was surprised with his dream car – a new Tesla!
