Ava Max will release Heaven & Hell, her debut album, on September 18th. Expectations are high for the Milwaukee native. The question is: will she exceed them? The 26-year-old singer is signed to Atlantic Records. That’s a big deal.
Like Dua Lipa, Ava Max’s potential is huge. I expect her name to ring bells for years to come. I’ve already listened to many of her songs, and I can attest to her high-quality sound. The definition of great music is originality. There is no one else in the business that sounds quite like Ava. That’s why music fans can expect a durable brand.
Her name is short and sweet. Plus, she’s laid the groundwork by releasing songs and music videos ahead of time. As someone who likes watching the stars, I can say she’s headed toward stardom. Let’s revisit this blog post in five years, and you’ll find what I say is true. I’ve seen stars burn out and lose their shine. Watch Ava Max glow in due time.
She started in the entertainment industry in 2016. Four years later, the world is watching her develop into greatness. What titles will she claim? The Kings and Queens singer pays homage to music royals. If she plays her cards right, she’ll be an ace in showbiz. Music is like playing poker. Everyone isn’t Lady Gaga.
I predict Ava Max will rise to the occasion and exceed expectations. Music fans are dying for a brand new voice. Music moves fast. Not too long ago, Britney Spears dominated the industry. Now, I feel the market share is up for grabs. Everyone, who wants a piece, should get a slice of the pie. Time tells a lot of things. It’s only a matter of time before Ava Max shows she is the real thing. “Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby!’
Branding is the business of a celebrity. As an entertainer, how you package yourself says a lot about your brand. Your name matters as much as what your name is attached to. Attachments are more than just email terms. Celebrities must take care about who they endorse. Pepsi and Coke aren’t the only brand names in town. Ask Dave Chappelle which one tastes better, and be prepared for a wild answer.
If you want to be a rapper, you’re in the right place. I will tell you how. Remember to read the fine print in your contracts, and don’t do anything stupid. Those are the first steps. Above all, be yourself, write your rhymes, produce some tracks, hop on stage, and put a ring on the next Beyonce. O.K., you don’t have to do everything I prescribed, but do find yourself. What is it that makes you different?
You should pay homage to Post Malone and Machine Gun Kelly. They made their money the right way. Let’s look at the two rappers’ star power. Don’t reinvent the wheel.
POST MALONE
I offered a clue with ‘don’t reinvent the wheel.’ Most rappers sing about cars. Rick Ross made the Aston Martin song and Maybach Music. This is a common theme in Hip Hop. There’s no way around it. You must rap about a set of wheels. Also, rap about girls. Beyonce and Alicia Keys couldn’t have said it any better: “put it in a love song.” WARNING: there’s a way to rap about cars and girls. If you do so, do it with purpose and meaning.
MACHINE GUN KELLY
Don’t forget where you came from. Embrace your roots. “Put on for your city.” Machine Gun Kelly, the Cleveland rapper, represents his city better than a politician. He is also romantically linked to Megan Fox. Celebrities must share their stories, so the entertainment industry isn’t null and void. Success follows a formula, but at the same time, entertainers must tweak the rules. Relax. That stiffness in your neck needs a massage.
Who has the bigger brand: Post Malone or Machine Gun Kelly?
Born in Syracuse, New York, Post Malone is a rare breed. His music crosses genres. He stays true to the art and does what sounds good. Isn’t life all about doing what feels good? He could be another Kid Rock. Did you see him at Diddy’s 50th birthday celebration? Post Malone’s music credits include hit after hit.
Machine Gun Kelly was born in Houston, Texas, but he has strong ties to Cleveland. Check out his song Till I Die. Kelly could be a lot of things; but, one thing he is not is a sucker. Both celebrities are cool, and that is what counts. Be cool! I’m not saying you have to get tattoos, but at least take risks.
To answer the question about “who has the bigger brand?” I must examine the facts and neglect my emotions. Right now, I estimate more people know who Post Malone is than Machine Gun Kelly. (Have you seen Spenser Confidential?) Shout out to Mark Wahlberg! However, Machine Gun Kelly’s hardcore image sells more records. At the end of the day, brand power is subjective, but some things can be counted. Give it 5 years, and we’ll know without a doubt who’s bigger. Right now, the slight edge goes to Post Malone.
If you would like a lesson on film appreciation, cherish Scarlett Johansson’s awesome movies. She’s helping make masterpieces with directors, producers, and fellow actors. Everywhere actresses are taking classes subtitled: How to be like Scarlett Johansson.
When Scarlett started, she had to audition like most aspiring actors. Her family wasn’t well connected like Drew Barrymore’s kindred. Going from the bottom to the top, right now she ranks high on Hollywood’s hierarchy.
In order to succeed, envision arriving at your destination. Scarlett would have stopped altogether if she allowed her nightmares to flourish opposed to her dreams. Beware of dream stealers, and protect your thoughts.
This superstar dreamt of acting in movies since she was three years old. Unlike undeclared college majors, Johansson knew exactly what courses to take. What is more, the expert performer established her presence on the world’s stage at the number 1 spot.
Europeans are appreciating the showgirl’s skills. In fact, many Johansson movies are set overseas in countries such as: the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Whether romantic comedies, action, or suspense- Scarlett delivers high-grade performances.
I would like to see her share the screen with Tom Cruise or Robert De Niro. Perhaps, the brilliant actress would outshine elite entertainers today. Obviously, Scarlett Johansson isn’t deficient of confidence.
Everybody appreciates her body. Did you know Scarlett Johansson has natural brunette hair color? That explains why several of her notable characters are brunettes. Scarlett plays redheads and blondes too.
Have you heard the old adage: “sex sells?”Simply, Scarlett’s sex appeal sells movie tickets. I bet Kim Kardashianpays close attention to Johansson’s style and fashion.
What do you give a breathtaking beauty that has almost everything at her disposal? Furthermore, she shows unbelievable talent. Those Marilyn Monroe and Katherine Hepburn comparisons are warranted.
If film students don’t appreciate this dazzling performer, I sure will adorn her art. This past 9 years, we’ve seen Scarlett erupt onscreen like a volcano. The hot working blonde goes outside her comfort zone. Barriers do not confine her spectacular artistry.
I sincerely believe Scarlett is one of the best actors, because she shines in spite of substandard conditions. When this tigress crouches, dragons go hide. Let’s discuss Scarlett Johansson’s appealing filmography including award-winning performances along with interviews, and articles.
I’ll analyze her roles, hash out tidbits, and present my original perspective. But first, we’ll discuss the Scarlett Johansson brand.
Brand
The major actress has signed lucrative endorsement deals with numerous companies. There is a good explanation why luxury brands treat Scarlett Johansson like royalty. Prestigious magazine Esquire named Johansson sexiest woman twice. As the only entertainer to hold this honor, she routinely cashes in on her fame.
Supermodelssecretly envy Scarlett’s contracts with Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, and Dolce & Gabbana. With her popularity, she can name her price. All these corporations can’t lowball the celebrity because everybody wants her.
What do Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford, and Kate Upton think about Scarlett’s endorsements? Models must diet and exercise to the extreme. Certainly, Hollywood celebs workout but not as strenuous as fashion models.
Moreover, they have to give her at minimum her market value. Not since Marilyn Monroe, has an actress attracted this much attention. Except for Jennifer Lawrence, no other Hollywood celeb has achieved ultimate sex symbol status.
How can directors shoot films without highlighting Scarlett’s sexiness? It’s unfair to the audience to gloss over her glamor and her striking features. Additionally, the actress has endorsements with L’Oreal, Mango, Moët & Chandon, Selfridges, and Sodastream.
Since the beginning of her career, the celebrity has carefully molded her image and successfully promoted her brand worldwide. Marketing and promotion comprise the lion share of entertainment profits. Does Johansson even need to make a movie to collect over $10 million annually?
At this stage in her legend worthy career, Scarlett can stay out of the spotlight and star in movies only if it fits her goals. Remember, she desires to go down in cinematic history as one of the greatest. I believe she is almost there, which is telling since she’s only 30 years old.
Collecting paychecks from luxury companies, as a mother, might be wiser than filming 4 movies per year as a movie star. Plus, L’Oreal product lines are valuable and so are Moët’s. And being an actor demands a lot of your time.
Although Scarlett Johansson is becoming brand ambassadors for a variety of expensive brands, she still appears approachable and down-to-earth. We can keep grabbing burgers with the Brooklyn babe, because she hasn’t lost touch. Many people forget their roots, but Johansson hasn’t forgotten anything.
I admire how Johansson leaves her watermark on every piece. Clearly, customers and business owners agree with that statement. Calvin Klein actively seeks the best celebrities. Therefore, Scarlett is in the upper echelon.
Hence, her talent is recognized and she’s fairly compensated whether she’s on a movie screen or TV placement. Will Johansson ever transition into television acting? Or will the actress become the new and improved Meryl Streep?
I Love Lucy
All Scarlett Johansson lovers must see Lucy. In her most defining moment to date, Scarlett proves all her doubters wrong. There aren’t many actresses capable of starring as a strong female lead.
As one of Hollywood’s finest and hottest, always expect the star to play acts with pure passion. Surprisingly, Scarlett Johansson and costar Morgan Freeman have great interaction. Like a pendulum they go back and forth, each time giving and taking just a little bit.
Their contributions to this film will be remembered forever. Fortunately, casting chose the best talent instead of the cheapest. There are plenty of terrific underpaid actresses they could have chosen but didn’t.
If you would like to ride on a rollercoaster, watch Lucy. As Lucy, a synthetic drug called CPH4 is released in Scarlett’s bloodstream. It gives her the ability to access complete cerebral capacity. In other words, this lady can use 100 percent of her brain compared to a 10 percent human average.
Lucy has more power than superwoman better known as Black Widow, and Black supermodel Tyra Banks. There is so much focus on Scarlett’s physical appearance, people forget she is “smart, kind, and important.” (Viola Davis, The Help) I would like to believe Scarlett’s real-life personality favors her character Annie in the Nanny Diaries.But Lucy seems more like a realistic Johansson.
While accessing untapped areas of her brain, blood splatters all over people’s faces. Although the scenes aren’t horrific in nature, it is still violent. To shorten a longer story, the Korean Mafia picked the wrong woman as their drug mule. They treated Lucy inhumane, and she comes back for them with a vengeance.
Limitless starring Bradley Cooper contains a similar theme. I recommend watching both films, one after another. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist, astronaut, or robotics engineer to use your head.
At 20 percent cerebral capacity, Lucy starts controlling other people. All over Europe and Asia, from Berlin to Beijing, Lucy’s wanted by police. It’s too late before they realize no one can stop the American from taking over the universe.
If you’re a science student, Lucy brings hypotheses and theories involving evolution, neurology, and astronomy to the forefront. After unlocking her brainpower, Lucy literally starts locking down hospitals, universities, and police headquarters. With a hand wave she can push away mobsters, crooked police officers, and soldiers.
Next year Scarlett Johansson stars in her own Black Widow movie. Hopefully, this film empowers women and combats Hollywood’s sexism. Captain America and the Avengers franchise have helped the actress gain global recognition. Furthermore, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson possess perfect chemistry.
Despite Avengers: Age of Ultrondropping to the historic Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, the movie still set records in large part because of Scarlett’s excellent delivery. Because comic book movies are a fabric of popular culture, in a sense Scarlett Johansson is a pop-culture icon.
She has a similar effect on society as Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. That’s why many music videos popularize plots from Marvel movies, and glorify their characters. Make no mistake that Scarlett is in control of her career.
Who else has her type of autonomy? Who else but Scarlett is the center of Hollywood’s galaxy? Some could argue for Channing Tatum and Jennifer Lawrence. However, Hunger Games can’t compete with Avengers’ numbers and track record.
If you want to see an amazing movie with a unique theme and original plot, I highly recommend Under the Skin. While playing an alien, Scarlett’s character seduces clueless Scottish men and tourists into her van.
Back at home she harvests their bodies for energy purposes. Under the Skin received rave reviews because literally there isn’t anything quite like this. Truly strong female leads are a rarity in sexist Hollywood.
For a moment, I thought Vincent Van Gogh directedUnder the Skin but I remembered he died centuries ago. Seriously, the film is majestic and inspiring. This Scarlett Johansson masterpiece deserves the highest acclaim.
Furthermore, the seasoned actress uses her sexuality freely and unrestricted throughout the film. It is important to showcase a variety of viewpoints, if we want to change the trajectory and course of theatre. It isn’t enough to host panels and voice concerns.
Following discussions, there must be concrete actions. I applaud Scarlett Johansson for consciously deciding to take roles historically reserved for men. Scarlett serves as a prime example of what could happen if you don’t give up and try harder.
She won over millions with her Lost in Translation performance directed by Sofia Coppla. People began noticing the New Yorker’s potential as an adult actress for the first time. Actor/comedian Bill Murray was in his prime. Without question, he cultivated the hot Hollywood starlet’s talent.
Also, Sofia Coppla’s was given a $4 million budget. Incredibly, her breakthrough film generated $120 million. When you want entertainment, leisure, and pleasure, go check out Lost in Translation.
Before I recognized Scarlett Johansson as a good actress, I studied Lost in Translation. She was 17 when the movie debuted in theaters. Since then, she hasn’t missed a beat like Questlove- the Roots drummer for the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
Did you know the actress attended Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute? Now, the great actor can teach Hollywood starlets how to act better. Honestly, great actors can learn from Johansson’s teachings.
Actors should realize education is a lifelong process, and isn’t necessarily formal in nature. Some secrets can’t be taught in classrooms. You must learn some things on set and behind scenes. How many employers don’t interview potential candidates because of an “experience requirement?”
Another groundbreaking movie is Scoop. Scarlett Johansson works with Woody Allen and Hugh Jackman in this romantic comedy. You know Woody doesn’t follow Hollywood’s formula.
You see I worked as a journalist for some time. I learned how to be objective. Plus, I found my voice. Fellow writers should watch Scoopbecause it’s all about mass communication. Not to mention, Johansson and Hugh Jackman under Woody Allen’s direction is a dynamic and intriguing prospect.
Essentially, professionalism and ethics are journalism’s cornerstones. In the film, Scarlett favors a young Barbra Walters and Katie Couric. Struggling reporters can identify with the pitfalls of integrity versus sensationalism.
Why does Woody Allen play characters in all of his movies? This time Woody plays a prestidigitator also known as a magician. There is magic surrounding the Tarot Card Murder Case. Further, Johansson and Allen go on a foxhunt while trying to connect the multimillionaire to serial killings.
They downplay Johansson’s hotness by giving her round framed glasses and big braces. Also, they have her wearing shabby clothes, which is uncharacteristic of Scarlett’s characters usually. Every once in a while, it is crucial to compose a different kind of script.
Once again, Don Juanflaunts Scarlett Johansson’s beauty and perky personality. A pornography addicted pickup artist can’t handle the truth of Victoria’s Secret. It’s easily one of the actress’s worst movies. But it’s still watchable because she’s in it.
Like Halle Berry’s Catwoman, the nail biter Don Juan falls short but let’s acknowledge it wasn’t Johansson’s fault. First off, Johansson should have been the main character. Secondly, while the script was promising, the casting department neglected their duties to secure more talent in addition to Scarlett.
All told, in that situation they went with the cheapest instead of the best. It is possible to make great movies on a low budget. If you’re curious, look no further than Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. But, in order to do so, everyone needs to execute flawlessly.
I don’t blame Scarlett, because actresses have hard times finding parts. Ideally, it shouldn’t be that complicating. Unfortunately like the majority of industries, movies create more low waged jobs than high paying ones. Scarlett clearly took a pay cut to do Don Juan.
Did you know Scarlett Johansson has a twin brother? Plus, Scarlett has four other siblings. Coincidentally, most actors come from large families.
Have you’ve noticed, this celebrity doesn’t voluntarily disclose information about her private life? She’s not starving for publicity like every reality TV star. Classy and elegant are two adjectives that describe how she carries herself.
What would happen if more entertainers stop feeding the paparazzi’s hunger? Aren’t you sick of these salacious stories? Wouldn’t you like substantial information?
I don’t gossip because bullshit begets nastiness. I bet major fans don’t even know many minor details about their favorite celebrities’ lives. But, they know everything about their living arrangements.
In summary, Scarlett Johansson has dethroned Angelina Jolie as Drama Queen. Johansson has become a premium name in the action movie genre. This actor conducts herself with grace.
She’ll be one of the richest actors in show business for many years to come. Moreover, Scarlett deserves to be considered a future legend. Don’t get wrapped up in her beauty and forget she’s an amazingly talented thespian.
Remember Scarlett has limitless branding opportunities. In the next few years, other corporations will jump on Johansson’s bandwagon because they know it’s going toward greatness.
I passionately watch films. In fact, I analyze every nook and cranny of movies. If plausible, I read scripts the same way as screenwriters, actors, and directors.
We’ve watched Scarlett mature into a phenomenal person. This hot Hollywood starlet has transformed into a universal movie star. Thank goodness, she chose acting as an occupation instead of being a dental assistant.
I would pay premium price for an acting class instructed by the Lucy actress. She became famous the old-fashioned way. And her methods have produced astonishing results.
Trust me, this actress hasn’t peaked. She isn’t done climbing mountains, achieving milestones, and fulfilling her aspirations. Furthermore, Scarlett Johansson has only scratched the surface of her excellence.

Is this supermodel a superwoman? She can pass as Wonder Woman. Black Widow had better watch her back, because Tyra Banks is on her tail.
Actually, the celeb is an underrated actress. Her success in modeling overshadowed her film career. She held her ground in Coyote Ugly.
I wonder how much Banks spends in a year. Every time she goes out in public she looks glamorous and fabulous. Tyra branded herself like Oprah.
What is more, she is living out her dreams. I respect anybody with passion. What would America’s Next Top Model be without Tyra Banks?
The businesswoman unapologetically negotiates deals and starts up businesses. Miss Banks maintains credibility. It’s incredible how much she receives the benefit of doubt in the fashion industry.
Keeping up appearances applies to everything people do. You can’t go to work looking nasty. Plus, attitudes can boost morale.
Can you believe Tyra Banks built a career off of her looks? Try Googling “pretty woman” and you’ll see Tyra’s image pop up. Aspiring models should take note of how to diversify their earnings like Tyra.
You see the celeb doesn’t put all her eggs in one basket. She acts, sings, and gossips. Before Wendy Williams was given her big break, the Tyra Show strutted on TV.
Who could have predicted this? Appreciate how Tyra started small and finished big. I believe the supermodel serves as a wonderful role model for young women.
You can’t deny that Tyra turned herself into an international figure. Moreover, many in the modeling communities consider Banks to be the best ever. Think about her realm ofinfluence.
Sure, she stumbled a few times. But, Banks believed in her brand and star power. “When you wish upon a star, it doesn’t make a difference who you are.” Fundamentally, the devoted Tyra practices an unbreakable philosophy.
You must look at the glass half-empty and half-full. In other words, the pros need the cons and the Beliebers need the Biebs. So, why expect Selenators to standby while Justin dates Gomez’s archrival Ariana Grande?
I believe Bieber and Grande make a more perfect union. In the long run, Grande and Gomez will likely pass up Justin financially and in popularity. You see Grande churns out hits like butter. And Selena can fall back on acting.
Does the name Jennifer Lopez click? I don’t proclaim soothsaying superpowers. All I offer you are opinions and predictions on this subject.
Justin Bieber could prove everyone wrong and make several smashing hits in the future. Frankly, I’m tired of everybody riding Justin hard, when it’s not his fault. Can you picture the spotlight shining on you at age 14?
Think about all the stupid stuff teenagers do. So, on the one hand, I say give Bieber a break. On the other hand, I say where is Justin’s number 1 hit record?
Here’s what happened. His managers accelerated his follower count. You saw the same thing happen with Meghan Trainor. Trust me, you don’t want instant fame because like John Lennon so elegantly sang, “Instant karma’s gonna get you.”
If you are an aspiring entertainer or celebrity, don’t buy their bullshit. You’ll hear them claim, “I can get you 100 million views.” Here’s my advice. If you can get famous in a day, you can get destroyed in a day.
Take your time and grow a true fan base. Yes, social media is an awesome and useful tool, but getting better at your talent is more important. Plus, you need to improve your skills before it’s too late.
Justin Bieber is truly talented. However, his financiers built his brand too big and too quickly. Watch what happens to One Direction. They are in a similar predicament.
In ten years, I have Selena Gomez beating Justin Bieber in a landslide.

The blonde haired/ blue-eyed girl- Melissa Joan Hart is best known for Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. In the early 2000s, the TV actress was the most famous American teenager. This day and age, you’ll find the adult Joan Hart featured in advertisements and on commercials.
Many celebrities do not capitalize on their fame. It is respectable if you don’t want tocompromise your integrity. However, it is unacceptable to be frivolous with money and consequently end up empty handed.
Melissa Joan Hart lasted so long in show business because she cashed in on her celebrity. Hart reshaped her girl next-door image into a MILF. Moreover, Melissa Joan Hart doesn’t back down from taboo topics including sex.
It’s no secret celebrities make easy money. If you have a large and engaged following, doors open for you immediately. That’s why Melissa sustains a lively and supportive fan base on social media.
If there is anyone who can give Melissa Joan Hart a run for her money, it is Jennifer Love Hewitt. The actress is a joy to watch because she’s such a pleasant spectacle. Can you picture Ghost Whisperer without Jennifer Love Hewitt? She is the reason we love TV. Also, don’t forget her contributions to film.
Do you remember I Know What You Did Last Summer and the Tuxedo? Those movies show what Jennifer Love Hewitt brings to the table. What is more, she’s approaching 40 years of age and still looks like a beauty queen.
Presently, Jennifer is the precious face of Proactiv. She is convincing as an ambassador because Jenny is stunning. In addition, Jennifer Love Hewitt is a brand in itself. Who’s a better representative of capitalism?
Unfortunately, Hollywood undercuts Love Hewitt because she’s an agreeable personality. While it might be all fine and dandy to go with the flow, sometimes it is better to go against the grind. I strongly feel Jennifer’s career stalled because executives mistook Jennifer’s kindness for weakness.

Clothes are a basic need. Fashion is a want or desire. Luxury is a gift.
My motto is… to each his own. Pick your poison.If you want to look nice, by all means dress for success
Fashion is poisonous. Walk into a fashionista’s closet; and, you’ll swear it was a warehouse. You’ll find belts, boots, scarfs, and anything fashionable.
Aim to be the best dressed. Mark Twain said: “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” So invest in a nice wardrobe. Your apparel says a lot about you. You are what you wear. Do you wear tacky clothes? Are you wearing mismatched shoes? We all have a sister who splurges on the fancy things. She owns 100 pairs of shoes. And, she is part owner of Zappos. Shoes are the main suspects. The question is how can someone spend so much money on luxurious brands. In my article, I hope to answer this question and more. I’ll show you how celebrities are culprits. Celebrities Most Wanted List The following celebrities are most wanted for making a killing off of their clothing lines. #10 Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie has a good name. In marketing, you learn the value of brand name recognition. Her brand is strong because of the celebrity of her father and The Simple Lifereality show. TV is a powerful platform. Even if you don’t own a physical television, you probably have watched TV shows on the Internet. House of Harlow 1960 is a baby Nicole has nurtured since 2010.
Rachel Zoe sets the stage for celebrity stylists. If you’re a player in the industry, then Rachel is on your radar.The Rachel Zoe Project helps build and expand her brand.
The fashion designer launched her clothing line in 2011. She collected $20 million in sales. Her husband Roger Berman is CEO of the company. Do you see a trend?
Justin Timberlake made the list as expected. He is a savvy businessman. And, I’ve heard he makes pretty good music too. Timberlake and Trace Ayala built a $50 million brand named William Rast. Over the years, it has gained significant media attention. I imagine the clothing line will take off in the near future.
Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. reached sales of $90 million. Gwen is a huge success due to her music. Music is her main platform. Musicians succeed in fashion, because they are artistic. Walk into a boutique and you will encounter an eccentric owner. Creativity is required in this business.
Spice girl and wife of David, Victoria Beckham is worth $95 million in revenue. Her true calling is fashion. Beckham has global reach and international appeal.
She is a really good singer. What is more, Beckham is an even better businesswoman. She has magnetic charm.
Sean John “Diddy” Combs is a commercial success. He built a clothing line empire with his smooth business skills. His revenue from clothes exceeds $250 million.
The urban community embraces Diddy’s brand Sean John without a doubt. Diddy has diversified and that helps maintain his cash flow. Forbes loves him…do you?
The former reality TV star makes more money with her clothing line than with her music. The Jessica Simpson Collection has racked in over $750 million of revenue. She has big boots to fill.
There’s a catch to Jessica Simpson’s clothing line success. Simpson is absent from country music. That’s why Taylor Swift is bigger than Moses.
The model Kimora Lee Simmons made over $800 million in sales as a fashion designer. This level of success in the fashion industry is extremely rare. She struts beauty on the runway. And she has brains built for business at the headquarters.
The reality star has 3 clothing lines: KLS, Kouture by Kimora and Fabulosity. What’s her secret? How does she manage to maintain?
The Olsen twins hold down the number 1 spot. They reached $1 billion in revenue. Ashley and Mary-Kate have turned their celebrity status 360 degrees. They’re most famous for portraying Michelle on the family TV sitcom Full House.
Celebrities secretly envy the Olsen family. Their clothing line empire is the cream of the crop. They have built the toughest celebrity fashion brand.
Also, Christian Dior and Hermès are among the iconic international luxury brands. Celebrity clothing lines contribute a great deal to the profitable apparel industry. If you have a good idea, there’s no need to worry about going out of business. You’re always in high demand.
Honorable Mentions
The following celebrities have made a fortune from their fashion lines: Selena Gomez, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Beyoncé, Nicky Hilton, 50 Cent, Nelly, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams.
These days, ‘rags to riches’ is rare. ‘Riches to rags’ is the norm. But still, where there is a will there is a way.
I recommend reading How to Start a Clothing Line. I suggest you become a celebrity first, if you want to improve your chances. It will be 100 times easier to break into the industry this way. As you can see, many celebrities make more money in the fashion industry than in entertainment. I call this phenomenon Celebrity Rag Riches.
