Roy Speer, the co-founder of Home Shopping Network, was a Florida billionaire once listed on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans.

His investments were handled by Ami Forte of Morgan Stanley, and she made tens of millions buying and selling on his behalf. Because of her expertise in handling Speer’s assets and other top-flight accounts worth $2 billion, she became a managing director and one of the few female members of Morgan Stanley’s Chairman’s Club, which was reserved for its top wealth-management advisers. She, too, was well known around her home near Tampa, serving on several boards and was once named “Businesswoman of the Year” by the Tampa Bay Business Journal.
