Anheuser-Busch CEO, Brendan Whitworth was living the dream. He was believed to earn $12 million a year and was living in a $7 million apartment on the Upper East Side, close to Central Park with his wife Meredith Baker.
But who is the multimillionaire’s wife? Keep reading this Meredith Baker Bio to learn all about her.
Meet Meredith Baker, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth Wife
Meredith Baker is Brendan Whitworth’s loving wife of over eight years. The two tied the knot back on May 2, 2015, after a few years of relationship.
In 2023, the pair resided in a $7 million apartment on the Upper East Side, Central Park, Manhattan in New York City, leading their happiest life.
The positive energy from his personal life was also reflected in his professional life. Back when Bud Light faced a backlash due to the sponsorship they conducted with actress and TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney, Brendan didn’t rule out the possibility of Bud Light working with the star again. Instead, he said that the firm needs to “appreciate” what the consumer wants.
“It’s been a challenging few weeks and I think the conversation surrounding Bud Light has moved away from beer and the conversation has become divisive and Bud Light really doesn’t belong there,” Brendan Whitworth told CBS Mornings in an interview that aired June 28, 2023. “Bud Light should be all about bringing people together.”
However, he did acknowledge his accountability as CEO for the repercussions faced by employees, consumers, and distributors whilst noting, “It was a gift, and it was one can. But for us, as we look to the future and we look to moving forward, we have to understand the impact that it’s had.”
After the CEO refused to rule out partnering with transgender influencers again, he also avoided answering how much the marketing blunder had cost Bud Light. On the contrary, he said that they had poured three times the amount of investment into Bud Light for this year (in 2023) — as the company lost a staggering $ 20 billion in market cap.
Brendan Whitworth And Meredith Baker Kids
Meredith Baker and Brendan Whitworth didn’t reveal their kids. But if you ask us, they might share a daughter — who was featured on Meredith’s FB and IG profile picture.
Now, for those wondering how the Bud Light controversy even started, here are some details for you. The boycott began in April 2023 after a transgender woman, Dylan Mulvaney was included in a larger campaign to address Bud Light’s decline in sales and attract younger audiences. The campaign video triggered anti-trans individuals and American conservatives, including singer Kid Rock, who helped instigate a boycott against the beer brand.
After the boycott, Bud Light’s sales fell between 11 and 26%. Fortunately, the parent company of Bud Light sent financial assistance to wholesalers and beer distributors affected by the two-month sales decline.
