Trans rights activist Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip bought the Miss Universe Organization, once owned by Trump, for $20 million.
Jakrajutatip, who said in a release she was “incredibly honored” to make the purchase of the company, which also includes Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, shared that she plans to expand the pageants vision in Asia with skincare, cosmetics, drinks, and lifestyle products.
“We seek not only to continue its legacy of providing a platform to passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and traditions but also to evolve the brand for the next generation,” she said. The ownership change comes as Miss Universe brand has pushed for inclusivity over the last several years, including allowing married women and mothers to compete. Before, only women between the ages of 18 and 28 were allowed to submit.
Trump owned the Miss Universe Organization between 1996 and 2015. After making comments about Mexican immigrants that prompted the termination of the pageant’s partnerships with NBC and Univision, he sold the organization to International Management Group
