Penny Knight

Before the famous sports brand Nike and film production Laika, Penny Knight met her future husband, Philip Knight, when he was still a lecturer at Portland State University. Now, her husband is ranked as one of the most successful businessmen in the world, while she’s involved with a number of charitable organizations.

The couple lives humble lives and keeps a low profile, still in love after being married since 1968. They have only one living child and sole heir to their vast fortune, as tragically lost a son to a scuba diving accident in 2004.
