In-N-Out's Reclusive 34-Year-Old Heiress Reveals Shocking Details About Her Family and Relationships
San Fracisco Chronicle ^ | Wednesday, January 11, 2017 | Hayley Peterson

Posted on 01/12/2017 5:12:34 PM PST by nickcarraway

he famously reclusive 34-year-old heiress to In-N-Out's fortune has offered rare insight into her personal life in a new video.

Lynsi Snyder, the billionaire president of the California-based burger chain and granddaughter of its founders, discusses her four marriages, the death of her father, and her past drug use in the 10-minute video, which was posted Wednesday to the website IAmSecond.com.

She said her father, Guy Snyder, battled drug addiction and was in and out of rehab facilities from the time she was five years old. He later had an affair, and her parents divorced when she was 12.

"It was really hard for me to see him fail and be weak because I knew how bad he wanted to be a good husband and good father," she said.

Around the same time, in 1993, her father took control of In-N-Out from his brother, who died in a plane crash.

Her father led the company until he died of a prescription-drug overdose in 1999.

"My world shattered," she said. "After my dad died there was no way I was going to be alone."

Immediately following his death, Snyder married her first husband when she was 18 years old.

"It wasn't right," she said. "I paid the price with a divorce and jumped right into the arms of someone else."

Reclusive? I just did a google search and she’s been on magazine covers and done TV interviews.

If you take a look at the website that she spoke on you will find the answers to all your questions here and those you ask about in life.

The website is IAmSecond.com

With all love and respect, the fact that you post your opinions without reading or watching what a Freeper posts enables you to be ignorant.

Hats off to her for coming forth on her love for Christ and what His absence can cause in a life.

Thanks Nick for posting. This was needed. :-)

Whatever. Just as long as she doesn't mess with my Double-Doubles.

...as long as she doesn’t screw with the food, she can do WHATEVER SHE WANTS, in my book

I read long ago that she left all of the people who ran IN N OUT in place when she took over.

I will admit that Shake Shack burgers are tremendous, but they literally cost twice as much as In-N-Out. It’s like comparing Ruth’s Chris to Sizzler. Everything at In-N-Out is fresh, never frozen, and tastes great.

IMHO the attraction is that In-N-Out burgers are the last remnnants of the once common diner burger found at local family owned holes in the wall, and lunch counters at Newberry’s and Woolworth. They are better than Carl’s/Hardies, McDonald’s, Five Guys, Fat Burger, Burger King, Whataburger, Fuddruckers, and pretty much any burger chain you want to mention. The Habit is good too, but again they’re pricey.

You won’t get the evil eye from me. Just a small smile, a shake of my head and a “Whatever...”

I forgot Tommy’s. Another great burger, but as a chilli burger it’s in a different category IMHO.

You and I may not relate to it, but as someone with limited business interests that take me to CA every spring, she’s singing a song most millennials in CA can relate to. What a bloody train wreck.

The fact that native Californians are head over heels in love with these burgers is mystifying.

I agree that there is nothing special about the burgers, although they are not bad. But if I recall correctly from a couple of recent visits to California, the price makes them a pretty good deal.

Many TV talk shows have become freak shows, filled with dysfunctional guests.

There’s no msg or fillers etc. it’s just real potatoes, fried. You see them peel and cut the potatoes! The burgers are plain and good with those grilled onions. So many cool things are not on the meds and it’s our little inside thing. Animal style protein style with a lemon up, you can’t get that anywhere. Not intense tasting, not fancy. But it will not ever make you sick. And there’s the memory thing, remembering them from high school etc. Definitely the cleanest, best prepared fast food around.

What I find mystifying are East Coasters in nirvana over Shake Shack.

They opened a location in Santa Monica. Like revenge, served cold. And nothing special.

For the price, In’N Out is quite good.

Much better burgers exist but for much more money.

Gotta disagree on Five Guys. Even my California wife admits Five Guys is better. However they’re twice as much. We split a triple patty with some toppings on the side so we both get what we want.

Carl’s Jr was by far the best when I moved to CA in the 60s. In-N-Out is just okay by comparison.
