Episode Details

Co-CEOs of beauty giant Mecca, Jo Horgan and Peter Wetenhall, are facing backlash from Richmond residents over a derelict property they own next to their HQ—described as a “slum” with graffiti, squatters, and unsafe conditions. Longtime neighbor Carol Pelham-Thorman calls it “ugly, unhealthy,” while locals like Stephen McCulloch label the neglect an “embarrassment.” Despite a spokesperson’s claims of repainting one building and ongoing graffiti removal efforts, no concrete timelines exist. The duo’s $2 billion net worth and $87 million in dividends last year starkly contrast the property’s state. Even the mayor calls it a “stain” on the brand, urging them to “clear it up.”
