Bill Britt has died

Founders Crown Ambassador William “Bill” Britt has passed away at the age of 81. Britt, the founder and leader of Britt WorldWide, was one of the most successful yet controversial distributors in Amway’s history. Bill and his wife Peggy joined Amway in 1970, ten years after the company began, and built one of the largest Amway businesses in the world. They reached Diamond level in 1973 and Crown Ambassador in 1996. In 2004 they were recognized as Founders Crown Ambassador, FAA 40, one of only 14 Amway distributorships in the world to have reached that level.

The Britts are downline of Founders Crown Ambassador Dexter Yager, and were an integral part of the success and expansion of the “Yager System” in the 70s and 80s. The Britt’s eventually founded their own business support company, Britt WorldWide, which grew around the world, reaching great success particularly in India, where the Britt’s developed a second large Amway business, reaching Crown in 2009.

Their success was not without controversy however. Britt’s firebrand approach, with no apologies for mixing his strong evangelical Christian faith, political beliefs and business attracting devotion from many but criticism from others. In 2004 the Britt organisation was the focus of a Dateline NBC investigation into Quixtar (now Amway North America) and several of his downline distributors were disciplined by Amway as a result.

The Britt’s Amway legacy lives on, with  hundreds of Diamonds from around the world in their downline, including Paul & Leslie Miller and Larry & Pam Winters from the United States, India’s Founders Triple Diamonds, Harbhajan Singh & Mohinder Braich and Double Diamonds Kanti & Lata Gala, China’s Founders Crown Ambassador’s Guo-Yuan Du & Ya-Qin Zhu (Matthew Du), England’s Double Diamonds Trevor & Jackie Lowe and Turkey’s Double Diamonds Hatice Firat & Mehmet Muratoglu and Merih & Nilufer Bolukbasi.

Our thoughts are with his wife Peggy and the entire Britt Worldwide family.

    I hope he rots in hell

      Why in the world would you wish such a thing? I understand people not liking this man for their own reason, I really do. I can see people accusing him of things regarding business-that happens in all business. I can even see where a person might have a deep distrust or dislike of him, but to celebrate or enjoy the fact that someone has died is, to me, more distasteful and sad than anything you may not like about this man. You must hold a lot of hurt inside of you to hope for something so repugnant.

  10. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. We are following your dreams and system. No end for that.

      tHIS man so many have praised is my brother. Billy and I grew up together. He will always be with me through the many fond memories I have of our times together. He was three years and eight months older than. He was my protector. We grew up with a alholic father and when drunk he beat our mother. I think my favorite story was about Billy’s little red rubber car a nd th switching we both got because of that car. I wanted one like it. He had gone shopping with mama the day before. Mama had given him a dime which he paid a nickel for the car and had a nickel left over. She bought me a necklace which did not interest me one bit but the little red car did.Billy said we could go to the store and buy me a red car with the nickel he had. Well off we went but when we got to the four lane highway we were too afraid to cross it. We were only three and seven. We started back home and made a wrong turn and ended up one street from our street. We came upon a creek and took our shoes and socks off and were playing in the water when Daddy found us. I can still feel the sting of the belt on the back of my legs and I am seventy-seven years old. We both got spanked with the belt all the way home.There were many times. He got a electric train for Christmas one year and when we were suppose to be in bed we would get up under the bed aad run that little train and oh the places we would go like
      china and Japan because those only countries we knew any thing about.The war was on then and those were the only countries we saw in the news reels at the movies. He was a good brother and a good son. He is in heaven with mama now and with a new body and jigger-buggery. He loved to jigger-bug. I was his practice girl and he used to throw me across the living room. I talk to himthe time all . I know he will never leave me.
