Spanx surprises employees with two first class tickets to anywhere in the world

Spanx is tripping in the best way!

In celebration of Blakely, 50, each of her Spanx employees surprised each of their Spanx employees with an extra trip to their dream destinations and an elite $10,000 for splurging while on their excursions.

To celebrate this moment, I have bought each one of you two first class tickets to anywhere in the world, the self-made mogul announced to a room full of her delightfully flabbergasted staffers Friday.

A viral Instagram clip of Blakely's big announcement shows Spanx personnel screaming, crying and embracing one another in excitement over the wildly thoughtful work perk.

And you know if you go on a trip, you might want to go out to a really nice dinner or you might want to go out to a really nice hotel, the benevolent boss continued.

So, with two first class tickets to anywhere in the world, you are each getting $10 K to spend on your trip, she added. It is not clear from the video how many employees the company has. Blakely who of her undergarment empire with investment management company Blackstone last week captioned footage of her generous giving with I really want every employee to celebrate this moment in their own way and create a memory that will last a lifetime. Spanx and Blakely did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.

And her elated employees couldn t wait to tell the world which part of the world they d soon be exploring courtesy of the corset queen.

I m heading to Japan, said a sparked Spanx worker in the video. I m going to go on honeymoon with my fianc and we are going to Bora Bora, yelped another in utter disbelief.

One guy even said he planned to elope with his girlfriend in Sweden.

And for lavishing her team with this elite treat, social media is lavishing Blakely with nothing but applause.

Sara Blakely is a legend, just sold her bootstrapped company Spanx for $1.2 B. Did it with just $5 K in the pocket? Today she gave all 500 employees two first-class tickets to anywhere in the world and $10 K to enjoy the vacation.
