Michael Rubin's Fourth of July white party has become one of the Hamptons' most glamorous summer gatherings. The annual party was hosted at the Fanatics CEO's Bridgehampton house on Thursday evening, with celebrities dressed in their best all-white costumes.

But who is Michael Rubin, who has every star in the United States lined up at his home? Mr. Rubin is a former co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and the founder and CEO of Fanatics, an Amazon-like apparel firm and one-stop shop for sports items.

From selling vegetables to throwing multimillion-dollar parties

Michael began selling vegetable seeds door-to-door at the age of eight. He was raised in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania. At the age of twelve, he started a ski shop in his parent's basement after including stationary on his selling list.

Michael was 16 years old and got himself into debt due to a loss. He was able to settle with his creditors by obtaining a loan from his father on the condition that he attend college. However, his most significant business adventure began in 1998 when he founded Global Sports, which ultimately became GSI Commerce, a multibillion-dollar e-commerce corporation.

In 2011, after selling GSI to eBay for $2.4 billion and earning a profit of $150 million, Rubin bought back several brands, including ShopRunner, Rue La La, and Fanatics. Rue La La purchased Gilt Groupe in 2018 to establish Rue Gilt Groupe, the leading off-price e-commerce destination, which operates ShopPremiumOutlets.com, Gilt.com, and RueLaLa.com.
