We learned a lot about Corinne Olympios during last night’s Bachelor 2017 premiere.
No, we’re not talking about her “my vagine is platinum” comment from the Season 21 trailer — which will go down in the record books.
Instead, we’re referring to girlfriend’s constant need to brag about her her parents’ “multimillion-dollar company.” What is the deal with that?
The job titles of Bachelor contestants are usually pretty vague and meaningless, but it still seems somewhat odd the 24-year-old gal wouldn’t clarify even a field of business.
Considering the sweet digs she’s living in with her folks in Miami, we’re not denying the company is doing well. We just are dying to know what it’s all about — and luckily, now we know!
According to TMZ, the family-owned business is Armor Garage, a supplier of epoxy floor coatings used by such bigwigs as the US Military, multiple Fortune 500 companies, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
The site also confirms the bubbly blonde is employed there, though not specifically as CEO or president. Instead, her role is mostly in sales.
Speaking of the Olympios clan, apparently they’re totally cool with their daughter’s role as villain on Nick Viall’s new season.
Actually, more than totally cool.
Her parents tell the site they watched the Monday premiere together, and are A-OK with the edit their gal received.
They even say Corinne was happy with the label! Well, of course she is…
All publicity is good publicity, and we’ve seen how alums like Michelle Money and Courtney Robertson have forayed their devious turns into major paydays.
Background Information
Corinne Olympios, before her dramatic entrance into the world of reality TV, was a Miami native who grew up surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a thriving family business.
Born into a family that valued hard work and entrepreneurship, Corinne was exposed to the intricacies of running a business from a young age.
She attended a local Miami school and later pursued a degree in Business Administration, reflecting her aspirations to someday take over the family business.
Before her appearance on ‘The Bachelor’, Corinne was known in her community as a driven young woman with a penchant for networking and a flair for sales.
Armor Garage’s History
Armor Garage, the Olympios family’s crown jewel, was founded in the late 1990s.
The inspiration behind the business was simple yet profound: to provide high-quality, durable flooring solutions for industrial and commercial spaces.
The company started small, with the senior Olympios initially selling products from the back of his truck.
However, with determination and a clear vision, it wasn’t long before Armor Garage garnered a reputation for quality and reliability.
Today, it stands as a testament to the Olympios family’s dedication and business acumen.
Corinne’s Role
At Armor Garage, Corinne’s primary role revolves around sales, but she’s not your average salesperson.
She handles some of the company’s most significant accounts, liaising with clients ranging from large corporations to government entities.
Her understanding of the products, combined with her natural charm, has made her instrumental in landing substantial deals for the company.
Corinne’s colleagues often speak of her ability to close deals with ease, a testament to her skills and the early business exposure she received growing up.
Public Perception
Corinne’s appearance on ‘The Bachelor’ certainly raised eyebrows. While she was portrayed as the season’s ‘villain’, the public’s reaction to her was mixed.
On one hand, she was criticized for her bold moves and confident demeanor; on the other, she was celebrated for being unapologetically herself.
Social media was abuzz with opinions about Corinne.
Hashtags like #TeamCorinne and #CorinneForTheWin started trending, indicating a significant section of viewers admired her go-getter attitude.
However, like all reality TV stars, she also faced her fair share of online trolls and naysayers.
Through it all, Corinne maintained her poise, often stating in interviews that she was on the show for genuine reasons and not just for the fame.
