Bill Britt is the oldest of eight children. His father had an alcohol problem resulting in lost jobs, lost homes, and chronic chaos for the entire family. Bill worked for tips when he was too young to be on anyone's payroll.
After serving in Korea, Bill earned an advanced degree in engineering, and spent the next 15 years as a city manager in various North Carolina cities.
He invested $10,000 in a "blue sky" investment scam, where he was supposed to be able to sell cars obtained at lower prices than other dealers. The entire $10,000 was lost immediately. He and Peggy had borrowed the money for this investment, and after three years of working hard to pay it back were still in debt. They were looking for some other business which would help them, and another person who had been the victim of the same investment scam called him to offer him the Amway opportunity.
As was reported on January 23rd 2013 at approximately 3am Bill Britt passed away in Jacksonville Florida. Below is a direct copy of the announcement that was posted on the Britt Worldwide website:
To Britt IBOs around the world,
It is with great sadness that we tell you that Bill Britt stepped from time into eternity this morning, January 23, 2013 in Jacksonville, Florida.
Words cannot express the depth of sorrow that family and friends are experiencing with such a tremendous loss. Nor can the height of joy be fully articulated, knowing that Bill now abides in the presence of his Lord and Savior.
The positive impact that Bill’s life had on people – all around the world – is immeasurable. He believed and proved that one person of courage can truly make a difference in any family, community or country. His teaching was transformative; his example was inspiring; his legacy will be lasting; if he could do it, then we can do it.
Please keep Peggy in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Amway/Quixtar
He was very careful about the Amway business. As he said in various tapes and rallies, "The night I went to see this business plan for the first time, I left my wallet in my car so I wouldn't even be tempted." He has represented over and over that he was extremely skeptical.
When they began building their business, Bill was completing a masters degree in public administration, serving as an officer in the National Guard, and working full time as a city manager.
Bill Britt was on the ADA Board by the mid-'70s, The Britt's registered with Amway in 1970 went diamond in 1973 and double diamond in 1976. Britt went Triple Diamond in 1980, Crown in 94 and Crown Ambassador in 96.
In 2002 Bill Britt qualified Founders Crown Ambassador (this was the year the corporation created the pin). He broke 40 FAA points and 100+ New Diamonds internationally (15 USA) through 26 qualified legs in 2004. The largest portion of these new diamonds were from China. Britt estimated in 2004 that his IBO downline is approximately 1.5 Million with 1 Million based in India thru Double Diamond Kanti & Hemi Gala.
Bill Britt has joked from stage that it was a good thing that "he never set foot" on India because he went Founders Double Diamond without any effort; thus,going there would only ruin things (he has since visited India). Kanti & Hemi Gala had some conflict with BWW India as a result of which they started their own system Winners International. Recently the problem has been resolved, and as a result there will be collaboration between Britt India and Winners International.
