Founded in 1922 by DeWitt Wallace and Lila Bell Wallace, Reader's Digest was once the top-selling consumer magazine in the U.S. until it was surpassed by Better Homes and Gardens in 2009. According to Mediamark Research, the magazine has a larger readership with household incomes over $100,000 than Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Inc. combined.
