Richard 'Dick' DeVos Jr. is an American businessman, philanthropist, and political figure, best known as the heir to the Amway fortune and former president of the multi-level marketing company co-founded by his father, Richard DeVos Sr. Born into a prominent entrepreneurial family in Grand Rapids, Michigan, DeVos joined Amway in 1974 after graduating from college, rising through various executive roles. In 1989, he founded The Windquest Group, a private investment firm, and served as its president from 2002 to 2020 before becoming chairman. DeVos also ventured into sports management, becoming president and CEO of the NBA's Orlando Magic from 1991 to 1993, during which time the team achieved notable success, including a Finals appearance. He returned to Amway in 1993 as president, succeeding his father, and led the company's expansion into over 50 countries across six continents until 2002. As a conservative philanthropist, DeVos and his wife, Betsy DeVos (former U.S. Secretary of Education), have donated significantly to Republican causes, education reform, and arts initiatives through their family foundation established in 1989. In 2006, DeVos entered politics as the Republican nominee for governor of Michigan, campaigning on tax cuts, school choice, and economic development but ultimately losing to incumbent Democrat Jennifer Granholm by a narrow margin. His political activities reflect a strong conservative ideology, with ties to influential donor networks. Beyond business and politics, DeVos has focused on aviation, earning a pilot's license and owning a private jet company, Windquest Air. He and Betsy have four children and remain active in philanthropy, supporting organizations like the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and conservative think tanks. DeVos's career exemplifies a blend of family legacy, corporate leadership, and ideological influence in American conservatism.
