amway ( short for " american way " ) is an american company specializing in the use of multi-level marketing to sell health , beauty , and home care products .

it was founded in 1959 by jay van andel and richard devos .

based in ada , michigan , amway and its sister companies under alticor reported sales of $ 9.5 billion in 2015 .

it conducts business through a number of affiliated companies in more than a hundred countries and territories .

based on revenue , amway was ranked no. 29 among the largest privately-held companies in the united states by forbes in 2015 , and no. 1 among multi-level marketing companies by direct selling news in 2016 .

amway has been investigated in various countries , by institutions such as the federal trade commission ( ftc ) , for alleged pyramid scheme practices .

the ftc investigations took place from 1970 – 79 , and afterward , the ftc began using amway as the model for all other multi-level marketing companies .

studies of independent consumer watchdog agencies have shown that between 990 and 999 of 1000 participants in mlms that use amway-type pay plans in fact lose money .

according to the skeptic 's dictionary , " in the united states , the federal trade commission requires amway to label its products with the message that 54 % of amway recruits make nothing and the rest earn on average $ 65 a month . "

amway exercises a strong control over advertising by its distributors . it has placed especially severe restrictions on product advertising . one of the rules of conduct states : ' no amway distributor may produce or procure , from any source other than amway , any literature relating to the amway sales and marketing plan or any amway product .

the huge settlement and payments to victims follows other actions againt amway . government regulators in england several years ago sought to close down amway for defrauding consumers in that country . c riminal charges have also been brought in one state in india against amway . and amway is also being sued for deception and fraud in canada by canadian consumers .

amway defenders take offense at describing this method of sales and recruitment as akin to a pyramid or chain letter scheme . it is true that mlm as practiced by amway is not an illegal pyramid scheme . amway has been taken to court for being an illegal pyramid and the courts have ruled that since amway does not charge people either for joining amway or for the privilege of recruiting others as distributors , it is not an illegal pyramid . illegal pyramids and chain letters have no product . amway has lots of household products : from laundry detergent to vitamins , from cosmetics to water filters . amway is a legal pyramid scheme .

“now the architect jeff sydness has begun a restoration project at second church that he says will cost several million dollars . the copper dome has leaks , and a great black net is rigged underneath it in the sanctuary . the facade needs cleaning to remove rust stains — from old pigeon deterrents — and other soil . the huge stained - glass windows will be removed and reinforced , and the great skylight under the dome will get artificial illumination . ”
late last year , architects took to the streets to protest changes to the at & t building , philip johnson and john burgee’s postmodern masterpiece . the renovation proposed by snøhetta would glass in the building’s monumental granite facade , a move that riled preservationists and fans of the building . now , similar changes are afoot at another johnson and burgee tower , this time in houston . the owners of the bank of america center , a 56 - story postmodern tower with a soaring atrium , want to glass in the lower level to create mezzanines which , while more low - slung , are infinitely more leasable .

the building features a foundation designed to support the weight of a larger structure , and a lightweight steel frame system will also be added . renderings show zinc metal cladding and irregular fenestration . the black - framed windows will create an intricate shadow pattern throughout the day , and a wall of windows with south and east views will let in abundant natural light . a penthouse floor and rooftop deck with sweeping neighborhood views will be highly coveted amenities . moreover , after - work drinks will be just an elevator ride away – the original base building will be preserved , and mcquaid’s will stay in operation .
