The Brands the Stars Have Built: Key Takeaways from Celebrity Business Empires

Amplifying Black Excellence

These days, celebrities aren’t just movie stars — they’re movie stars and fashion designers. They’re not just singers — they’re also beauty entrepreneurs. These ventures have not only increased media impressions for celebrities by the millions, they have also become very lucrative extensions of their brands. What can those of us looking to launch or expand our own business ventures learn from these stars when it comes to running a successful enterprise in a marketplace saturated by social media and celebrity? Join journalist & celebrity wealth expert Derrial Christon to learn how some celebrities have become multi hyphenates, case studies we can learn from, and what these ventures mean for the business world.
