A.G. Lafley: "Damn, I'm rich."
By Gerard Oh | Dealer staff writer    Wed, Feb 9, 2005
 

Last week's announcement of Procter & Gamble's $57 billion purchase of The Gillette Company has stirred up global reaction. But we went to the man himself, CEO, Chairman, and President of P&G, A.G. Lafley for his reaction.

"Damn, I'm rich." he said. "No really, I'm filthy, stinkin rich now. I don't know what to do with myself. Maybe I'll own the Reds for a little while too.

"Really, the only reason I bought that shaver company was to get good Super Bowl tickets. I figured, I buy the company whose name is on the stadium, I at least get a skybox. Who knew it turned out to be good for business too!"

Rumor has it that talks have already begun for P&G's next move, acquisition of The Cincinnati Dealer.
