Doris Lee Feigenbaum Fisher (born August 23, 1931) is an American billionaire businesswoman who co-founded The Gap clothing stores with her late husband, Donald Fisher in 1969.[1]

Early life

Fisher was born in San Francisco, California[2] to Harvard lawyer and California state legislator B. Joseph Feigenbaum and Dorothy (Bamberger) Feigenbaum of New York, both Jewish.[3][4][5] She had two siblings: Ann F. Rossi and Joseph L. Feigenbaum.[5]

Career

Fisher is a noted art devotee. She loaned the collection she and her husband spent their lives acquiring, which consists of 1,100 works by 185 artists, including Andy Warhol, Ellsworth Kelly, and Richard Serra, to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art,[6] which, because of her support, is now the largest modern art museum in the United States.[1] She co-founded the Gap with her husband Don Fisher which eventually became a $16 billion business with more than 3,500 stores worldwide.[7]

She has been named as one of the 100 Most Powerful Women by Forbes Magazine.[8] She has served as a trustee of Stanford University, her alma mater.[9]

Political views

In 2019, it was revealed that Fisher, together with her sons Robert, William, and John, had donated nearly $9 million to Americans for Job Security, a non-profit group that opposed Barack Obama in the 2012 election.[10]

Personal life

She was married to Don Fisher.[11] Their three sons – Robert, William, and John – continue to manage the business.[1][11]
