While most business travelers wrestle with soaring New York lodging rates, Victoria’s Secret chief executve Sharen Tierney pads her expense account by not staying in Manhattan hotels. According to a proxy statement cited by The New York Times, Tierney, who owns a New York apartment, received an allowance last year “equal to the amount that the company would have had to pay to stay in a hotel during her business-related travel to New York.” The hotel tab? $40,000.
