Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein
Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein (/ˈjuːlaɪn/ YOO-lyne) are American billionaire owners of business supply company Uline, heirs to the Schlitz brewing fortune, and major financial supporters of the Republican Party.
Richard Uihlein was born to Schlitz beer founder descendant and noted conservative Edgar Uihlein and Lucia Ellis Uihlein. He graduated from Phillips Andover and from Stanford University with a BA in history. Until 1980, Uihlein worked in international sales for General Binding Corporation, a company his father co-founded. Uihlein's cousin is Lynde Bradley Uihlein. He is an avid fisherman, described as "quiet and reserved, and sometimes prickly".
Elizabeth Anne Uihlein was born to Robert Emerson Hallberg, an auto company executive, and Elizabeth Pierce Hallberg of Winnetka, Illinois. She had a sister, Katherine Hallberg, who died in 1997. She has spoken of going on to higher education and been described as "outgoing and engaging". She is the cousin of Martin Hanson, a Wisconsin environmentalist who fought for federal protection of Lake Superior's Apostle Islands. She speaks fondly of him in her writing, mentioning how her spending summers on his property in Ashland County led to her love of northern Wisconsin.
Politico has written that the Uihleins have a "warm and affectionate marriage". They have three children.
The couple's primary residence is in Lake Forest, Illinois, but they own several homes and are noted part-time residents of Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin. In 2020, Bloomberg estimated their net worth at around $4 billion.
In 1980, with start-up funds from Richard's father, Elizabeth and Richard founded Uline, a shipping supplies company. The company expanded rapidly and is now one of the largest privately held U.S. companies; in 2014, Forbes estimated its value as between $700 million and $2 billion. As of 2020, the company had around 7,000 employees. Elizabeth Uihlein is the company's president and Richard is the CEO; their three children hold executive roles.
Elizabeth and Richard own and operate a number of businesses in downtown Manitowish Waters under EAU Holdings Inc, a holding company advertised on Uline's website. Businesses owned by the entity include a gym, a restaurant, various lodgings, a coffee shop, a salon, a spa, and gift shops.
Richard Uihlein is the chairman of the board for Galectin Therapeutics, a publicly traded biotech company focusing on treatments for chronic liver disease and cancer. He is its largest individual stock holder.
