You’ve heard the story of Victoria’s Secret before. Or at least, Aaron Sorkin’s short-hand version of it, as told by Justin Timberlake, against pounding nightclub music in The Social Network.

“A Stanford MBA named Roy Raymond wants to buy his wife some lingerie, but he’s too embarrassed to shop for it in the department store. Comes up with an idea for a high-end place that doesn’t make you feel like a pervert. He gets a $40,000 bank loan, borrows another $40,000 from his in-laws, opens a store, and calls it Victoria’s Secret. Makes a half-billion dollars his first year. Starts a catalog. Opens three more stores. And after five years, he sells the company to Leslie Wexner and The Limited for $4 million. Happy ending, right? Except two years later, the company’s worth $500 million, and Roy Raymond jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge. Poor guy just wanted to buy his wife a pair of thigh-highs.”
