TOP TEN CELEBRITY-OWNED BUSINESSES

Tinkrbl44 — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 17:12:40 GMT

Since many starting out in the entertainment business find financial stability a tricky thing, it's always good to have more than one income stream. As they become more successful, their "brand" has more profit potential.

Some celebrities donate large parts of their additional incomes to charities and foundations.

I came across this list and thought you'd find it interesting ...... (source patch.dot com).

Any surprises on this list?

The only company getting rich from my 'beauty' routine is Costco: A bar of Kirkland soap and a big pump jar of Cerave moisturizer.

I just bought some Haus Labs items...foundation, concealer and eye liner. So far I'm loving them.

I wonder how they defined celebrity owned. How can Mint Mobile (Ryan Reynolds) not be on the list? It's a billion dollar company and counting with T-Mobile's upcoming buyout.

Wow @Tinkrbl44

Thanks for starting this thread!

Many of these, I had no idea were Actor owned/invested!

Makes me even more induced to try & buy from this, or that company, as well as some of the other subsequent companies mentioned in this continuing thread..

Thanks!

I think Paul Newman's brand should be mentioned here. It's been around longer that most of the above. Brand also does charitable giving.

@Laura14

I thought Ryan Reynolds was just a paid spokesperson for that company, and does their commercials. Do you believe he owns it?

@RespectLife

Just curious ... do you think anyone in any type of entertainment (actor, singer, author, etc) is a "Hollywood" celebrity?

@Tinkrbl44 I know he had an ownership stake before T-Mobile offered to buy it out for billions of dollars. If that's complete, then he's a former owner which may be why he didn't make the list.

@Laura14

I didn't know that.

The "top ten" is about corporate earnings, not who the celebrity is.

I'm not sure, but I am assuming this also means either wholly-owned or have a majority position in ownership.

There are many celebrities who have invested in companies, but don't have major ownership. They are just stockholders.

Ryan Reynolds sold Mint Mobile in March 2023 for 1.3 billion. If that disqualifies him from this list then Dr. Dre should not be on it either. He sold Beats several years ago to Apple for over 3 billion.

Just think: What if even half of what each of us spends on beauty went to relief funds from these people suffering from the hurricane?

Now that would be a truly beautiful thing!
