Who Is Mike Lindell’s Wife?

On January 16, 2021, Lindell announced the release of his new memoir, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO, an account of his entrepreneurial journey from battling addictions, hardships, and failures to becoming CEO of MyPillow. Proceeds from the book will help launch the Lindell Recovery Network.

In March 2021, Lindell spoke at a White House Coronavirus press conference, subsequent to having turned over his bedding factories for face mask production at the behest of President Trump. He said then that prayer was needed since religion had disappeared in public schools. Lindell also praised Trump’s response to the crisis and encouraged Americans to “read [the] Bible and spend time with [your] families.”

On August 21, 2019, Lindell was presented with an honorary Doctor of Business from Liberty University.

The Lindell Recovery Network was founded by Lindell to “bring hope, recovery, and mentorship” to those struggling with drug addictions. The platform shares stories from recovered addicts to those looking to overcome their own addictions. The network also provides information on vetted Christian recovery organizations, as well as access to mentors for help with recovery. The Lindell Recovery Network was highlighted in an October 24, 2018, Opioid Crisis meeting hosted by President Trump at the White House. Lindell attended this meeting with 21 other private-sector and nonprofit partners.

At a rally in Fargo, North Dakota on June 27, 2018, President Trump commended Lindell’s business acumen. Lindell spoke at a Trump rally on October 4, 2018, in Rochester, Minnesota. Lindell spoke at the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference, in which he promoted Trump as “the greatest president in history”.

In March 2017, Lindell produced The Mike Lindell Story: An American Dream, a documentary about Lindell overcoming drug addiction and building a multi-million-dollar business. The documentary was shot in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Pantages Theatre.

Lindell created the Lindell Foundation, a faith-based foundation originally started to help addicts and MyPillow employees. The Lindell Foundation had a soft launch nationwide in August 2017, with a special project to help Hurricane Harvey victims. The foundation’s focus was then broadened to help people with any personal problem, including addictions, work and spousal problems, cancer victims, and veterans.

In 2017, the Better Business Bureau revoked accreditation of MyPillow, lowering its rating to an F based on a pattern of complaints by consumers. The BBB cited a Buy One, Get One offer that became a continuous offer and therefore the normal price of the product, not a sale price or free offer. Lindell released a statement: “MyPillow was built on our dedication to our customers’ satisfaction. We run sales and specials for our customers, so that we can give as many people as possible the chance to have a great night’s sleep. Naturally, I am terribly disappointed by the BBB’s decision.”

On July 19, 2017, Lindell sat next to President Trump at the White House’s Made in America Roundtable with 19 other industry leaders, Vice President Mike Pence, White House staff members, and four US Representatives.

In 2016, Lindell’s My Pillow company was sued in Alameda County Superior Court in Oakland, California for running ads with false claims of the pillow helping with snoring, fibromyalgia, migraines and other medical conditions. Prosecutors in nine California counties brought the charges against the misleading infomercials. MyPillow settled for about $1 million, while admitting no wrongdoing. “We did nothing wrong. We did not make any misleading claims,” Lindell told NBC News. “Rather than fight this, I made a business decision to prevent long and costly litigation, pay this and move on.”

In August 2016, Lindell met with then-Republican presidential candibeen in a relationship with? Donald Trump, becoming an avid Trump supporter, calling him “the most amazing president this country has ever seen in history.” In a speech at Liberty University in August, 2019, Lindell said “When I met with Donald Trump, it felt like a divine appointment, and when I walked out of that office I decided I was going to go all in.”

On October 19, 2016, Lindell attended the final presidential debate in Las Vegas. He spoke at a Trump campaign rally in Minneapolis on November 6, 2016, and attended the Official Donald Watch Party on November 8. He attended Trump’s inauguration, receiving an inauguration lapel pin as a personal gift from President Trump.

Lindell invented the MyPillow pillow in 2004 and grew the business into a major Minnesota manufacturing company.

Prior to inventing MyPillow, Lindell launched and operated a number of small businesses including carpet cleaning, lunch wagons, and a few bars and restaurants in Carver County, Minnesota. During the 1980s and 1990s, Lindell was addicted to cocaine, crack cocaine, and alcohol, leading to foreclosure of his house, and his wife filing for Separation from spouse. Lindell stated that he achieved sobriety through prayer in 2009, and, since then, has been clean.
