Arthur Blank

Arthur created his wealth in the late 1970s, when he founded the company Home Depot alongside Bernard Marcus. They had a vision of a one-stop shopping area for someone who wants to do-it-yourself. The store was highly successful and is considered one of the businesses that revolutionized home improvements mainly thanks to its warehouse concept. In fact, the success of Home Depot was so big that both co-founders became billionaires as a result. He spent 19 years as the company president, and after retiring then focused his eyes on sports ownership. He purchased the NFL team the Atlanta Falcons in 2002, and two years later he bought the Arena Football League franchise, the Georgia Force.

Prior to meeting Macuga, he was already married twice. His first wife was Diana J. Blank and they had three children together but their marriage ended in divorce in 1993. Two years later, he met Stephanie V. Blank who was previously a designer for a Home Depot store. They also had three children together before divorcing. Later on, he continued his sports ownership endeavors by founding an expansion franchise for Major League Soccer called the Atlanta United FC, which began play in 2017. The club plays at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium alongside another of his teams, the Atlanta Falcons.

Social Media and Media Appearances

The couple also appeared on the daytime television “The Ellen Degeneres Show”, on which they bought a wedding dress during a charity auction for the amount of $8,000. The couple later danced with Ellen at the end of the show, leading to a video becoming viral through YouTube and social media. While Macuga doesn’t have any personal social media accounts, she is involved with the online presence of the organizations she works with. The lack of any personal accounts is one of the reasons there is very little information online about her past. Photos and videos of her mainly consist of present endeavors.
