Drew Barrymore is an actress, producer, and, now a cosmetics mogul thanks to her side job. Flower, her makeup company, was founded in 2013 and has grown steadily since then. Initially available only at Walmart, the label later created its own e-commerce site in 2016.

Although the Flower is inexpensive, the quality is equivalent to that of more expensive brands. Their Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara is incredible. It works better than a mascara that costs more than three times as much for only $10. Flower, on the other hand, is much more than simply mascara; they also sell eyeshadows, palettes, lip products, and foundation.

Flower is still in its early stages in terms of numbers. According to WWD, the brand made $30 million in its fifth year of operation. In terms of Flower's future, Barrymore is focused on worldwide expansion. According to the same WWD story, the brand is now accessible at nearly 2,000 Walmart outlets throughout Mexico. It's only a matter of time before the entire planet turns into a Flower Beauty fandom garden.

Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker's most famous character, was fascinated with shoes, so it's only logical that the actress launched her own side hustle footwear company named SJP. Sarah Jessica Parker wrote it. Parker launched the brand in 2013, according to Fashion United, in collaboration with Nordstrom and Manolo Blahnik CEO George Malkemus.

SJP is a high-end but reasonably priced brand. The first season's shoes were priced between $200 to $375, which isn't exactly a bargain but is less pricey than Manolo Blahnik. In addition to footwear, the business now sells purses and outerwear. In addition to Nordstrom, SJP is now available at a variety of additional shops, both online and in-store, including Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Amazon.

While SJP has been successful, Parker told Forbes in 2016 that it hasn't always been simple. "Along the way, we've had sellouts but we've also had disappointments. It's been successful, but we get our sales reports every Monday. The good ones are a great relief. But you learn a lot from the SKUs that have bad numbers too."

Melissa McCarthy, like many other celebrities, had entirely different professional goals before becoming an actress; she was more interested in fashion. McCarthy studied textiles at Southern Illinois University before moving on to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Today, the great actress has her own clothing brand for plus-size ladies called Melissa McCarthy Seven7.

Seven7, which debuted in 2015, presently sells jeans, dresses, jumpsuits, outerwear, shirts, bottoms, and "survival" essentials, which are essentially loungewear. McCarthy wants women to feel their best while wearing her brand, so each garment is meant to be flattering to a woman's body with features like "contoured waistbands," "hip slimming technology," and "forward side seaming," all produced in comfortable stretch fabrics. Considering the collection's quality fits and materials, the price points were also astonishingly low. McCarthy's website, as well as Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Nordstrom, Gwynnie Bee, Lane Bryant, HSN, and Amazon, presently carry Seven7.

Goop, founded in 2008 by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, began as a newsletter, expanded into a blog, and has since become a lifestyle empire. It is a contemporary website with fantastic branding selling a selection of Paltrow-approved items. This contains vitamins such as "Why Am I So Effing Tired" ? There are also signature perfumes, a skincare partnership with Juice Beauty, and clothes ranging from $58 to over $2,600.

But Goop is about more than simply buying their products - it's about living a healthy lifestyle in general. The website's extensive content focuses on wellness, cuisine, fashion, work, and travel. Goop's city guides provide an insider's view of the greatest places to eat, buy, stay, and explore in the world's most fascinating cities. Goop's newest efforts include the book label Goop Press, Goop Lab (the brand's three permanent storefronts in Los Angeles, New York City, and London), the burgeoning wellness summit In Goop Health, and The Goop Podcast.

Despite its success, Goop underwent a number of modifications between 2016 and 2017. Paltrow announced her departure from the company in 2016. But, according to Fortune, she changed her mind the next year and returned to take on the job of CEO. Only time will tell what happens with Gwyneth's side hustle.

Jessica Simpson's success as a side hustler has definitely outpaced her status as a music singer and reality television star. While she is still undecided if Chicken of The Sea is tuna or chicken, the strength of her brand is undeniably strong.

Simpson collaborated with the Camuto Group to produce a shoe collection in 2005. The first sales of the range eventually contributed to the growth of her brand. According to Market Watch, Jessica Simpson has items in 31 distinct categories, including handbags, clothes, jewelry, perfumes, and home. Jessica Simpson's items are available at a variety of retail locations, including Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's, and Belk, as well as online. The brand's revenues reached $1 billion in 2014.

These figures blow Simpson's initial venture into branding out of the water. Dessert, a range of delectable beauty products that includes lipgloss, body mist, body shimmer, whipped body cream, and bubble baths, debuted in 2004. It was sold at Sephora until it was removed from the menu in 2006. Perhaps its downfall was the result of a lawsuit. It might also have been personal issues related to her divorce from Nick Lachey. Fortunately, Simpson's subsequent business efforts exceeded everyone's expectations.

Kate Hudson co-founded the athletic company Fabletics in 2013. Sales have increased considerably in only four years. According to CNBC, the firm had a $250 million revenue run rate in 2016 and sales climbed by a staggering 43 percent. The company also has a sizable social media presence, with over 24k followers on Twitter and over 560k followers on Instagram.

Fabletics operates on three business models. They sell apparel on their website a la carte, but they also provide a subscription program where members may save up to 50%. You can get a top, sports bra, and bottom for $49 each month. Fabletics may also be purchased in any of their physical stores. There were 23 shops in the United States as of July 2017.

The brand stated in April 2017 that they were expanding the collection and making many women extremely happy by introducing larger sizes. After all, while most women would never have Hudson's figure, they can now dress in her outfits. Hudson continues to develop other companies in addition to Fabletics, such as In Bloom, a line of all-natural holistic nutritional products, and King St. Vodka, a gluten-free, non-GMO brand.

Reese Witherspoon, like her Legally Blonde character Elle Woods, can do anything. She created Draper James, a "Southern-inspired retail brand," as a side venture in May 2015. According to Forbes, investors were so thrilled that they invested a stunning $17 million in the firm.

Draper James is named after Witherspoon's grandpa, William James Witherspoon, and her grandmother, Dorothea Draper. The website offers a wide selection of lovely apparel, accessories, and home décor. Every item is on brand, combining southern characteristics such as statement bags and even hostess presents (since showing up to someone's house without one is simply impolite), such as embroidered cocktail napkin sets.

In 2017, the brand collaborated with the premium online store Net-a-Porter. The capsule collection was inspired by 1950s fashion, featuring brightly patterned skirts and tops. Draper James is not merely an online business; it also has physical outlets in the southern cities of Lexington, Nashville, and Dallas. It's only a matter of time before there's a Draper James store in every city.

Many individuals believe the Kardashian Jenner family is untalented. That, however, is not true; no family is better at branding and promoting their identity than the Kardashians. There is no family more renowned for being famous than the Kardashians, from television shows to clothing businesses and beyond. Even Kylie Jenner, the youngest sister, has created an immensely lucrative side hustle for herself in a very short amount of time. According to Forbes, Kylie Cosmetics grossed $18 million in 2016 – the year the business debuted. The same year, Jenner was named the second-highest-earning reality star, trailing only Jenner's elder sister Kim Kardashian.

Kylie Cosmetics began as a limited-edition collection of Lip Kits that included a liquid lipstick and a lip liner. According to The Huffington Post, the initial batch of these kits sold out in less than 20 minutes. So it came as no surprise that the lineups at Kylie's pop-up shops in Los Angeles and New York City drew equal attention, with lines out the door like mob scenes. Kylie Cosmetics has grown beyond Lip Kits including Kylighters, Kyshadows, and blushes, making it almost certain that Kylie will become the next Kim.

The British monarchy is valued at $28 billion as a corporation. The Queen's personal assets are valued at $500 million. She definitely doesn't need a side business and could happily spend her days tossing balls to her corgis. But because the Queen is a go-getter, she's continually coming up with fresh ideas. Like her ketchup enterprise.

The Queen is said to enjoy hamburgers since you can't run an empire without some grilled meat every now and again. Inspired by her passion, she launched a condiment line in 2022 that included both ketchup and brown sauce, which North Americans would recognize as a steak sauce. Both types use materials cultivated on the Queen's Sandringham estate.

The ketchup is created with dates and apple juice. Because the product line isn't widely available right now, it's unclear whether the sauces will reach worldwide enthusiasts. Meanwhile, there's still the Queen's Gin, which is produced from materials collected from the Buckingham Palace Gardens.

Dan Aykroyd rose to prominence on Saturday Night Live and subsequently secured his spot in mainstream culture with films such as The Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters. He's still appearing in the Ghostbusters universe over four decades later, but he also has a lot of work on the side to keep him occupied.

Aykroyd entered the celebrity alcohol market in 2008 with Crystal Head Vodka. Long before guys like George Clooney, the Rock, or Ryan Reynolds tried to get fans drunk, Aykroyd was putting vodka in crystal skull bottles. The bottles were a great draw and have kept the company running for over 10 years, even after his home province of Ontario banned them for a period because the imagery of skulls and booze was reportedly too dismal. After a year, they removed the prohibition.

Aykroyd also owns the Lakeview Wine Company and is a partner in various vineyards that produce a wide range of wines. His ice wine was voted Canadian Wine of the Year in 2005. He's also won a slew of other honors. He is also involved in the corporation that imports Patron tequila for sale in Canada. Basically, whenever he's not fighting ghosts, he's getting Canadians drunk.

Jessica Alba is, in fact, a multibillionaire. According to CNN, the Honest Company, which she launched as a side venture, made $300 million in 2016. The Honest Company sells over 100 goods in a range of areas such as infant, personal care, cleaning supplies, and even vitamins. The brand is available online as well as in a number of large national shops like as Target, CVS, Babies R Us, Whole Foods, and Costco.

Alba even split out her firm, Honest Beauty, which sells cosmetics, skincare, and hair care products. The collection is available online, as well as in Ulta and 800 Target locations. Despite the company's meteoric growth, it hasn't been without issues. CNN reported in June 2017 that the corporation resolved a lawsuit for $1.55 million after misleading customers about the safety of chemicals in their laundry detergent and dish detergents. But, to be honest, $1.55 million is just a drop in the bucket for them.
