It’s been 15 years since Jared Fogle waltzed into a Subway and ordered his first 6-inch turkey sub — hold the cheese and mayo.
Now he flashes a Subway “black card” for free food, flies first-class and has an estimated net worth of about $15 million.
Not bad for a 35-year-old dad from central Indiana whose only claim to fame is losing a lot of weight eating the chain’s sandwiches.
“I never expected any of this,” Fogle told the Daily News. “I was a business major in college. I thought maybe I’d work for an ad agency or a PR firm.”
Instead he wound up the famous face of Subway’s longest-running campaign — the only adult job the Indianapolis native has ever known.
In the late ’90s at Indiana University, Fogle was all but invisible. Tipping the scale at 425 pounds, he avoided friends and social events to save face, gobbling junk food alone in a dorm room.
“I knew you were supposed to go on dates and go to parties, but because I was so big, I just took myself out of the equation,” says Fogle, who is 6-foot-2 and now weighs 200 pounds. “I didn’t want to allow myself to be made fun of.”
