@mzmaree  I don't mind it, some are good , some are no so good.  All celebs aren't as rich as people think.  They may have a had a few years on A list or had a top show. They pay high taxes, high maintainence  costs, up keep. They have manager, at least 2, a couple agents, all getting a piece of the pie.  Many live normal lives, knowing it isn't going to last.  It never does, only for a few.  They get taken by agents, lawyers and such. Also, the business is so different now, most of the business is gone.  I think some celebs get offers  to represent brands, or they create one for tax write offs, as well as putting away for future if it is successful. They get bored, what to try something new.  If it isn't any good, it won't last. Don't think for one minute if they sell an item for 100 bux it goes in their pocket, they see probably 10 cents. And music business? Catalogues are sold, with streaming some loose most of the income. Ain't what people think. If you are talking Heiress rich, some might want to go out on their own.  Although, I think taxes...but what do I know? lol. Don't begrudge them their lot.  You probably live a more contented life, who knows.

About whom are we speaking?  That would help the discussion and comments.

This thread popped up about the same time Kathy Hilton came on the set.

I heard top Celebrity Brand goes to Dr Dre,  others are Jessica Alba, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Jo, Rhianna, Jennifer Lopez, and a few others. I am talking money making brands . If you ask me Dr Dre did a great service!!!  Not on,y that but those Beats have outlasted a Rap career.  

A long lasting celebrity brand Is Jacquline Smith ....now she still brings in money, but doesn't really have career now. See.   smart move I think

whether you like them or not......they are employing people and there are real designers behind their lines....they just dont have "names." some could be big names in the future, some may just be getting started, and some just may be talented and need a JOB.

@shoekitty 

i like what you said!

I have no problem whatsoever with thousandaires becoming millionaires. 

And then millionaires becoming billionaires.

And then becoming triillionaires.

Work and grow and expand and innovate!

It's pure free market capitalism and I fully endorse and support it!

More, more, more personal wealth creation is key.

That goal has served me well.

Jealousy.  Comes to mind.
