Being a celebrity requires a lot of work, dedication, and patience. We're not all destined for fame. 

Being famous has its pros and cons. It opens up many doors to achieve our dreams, but it also won't let us have a private life. Everyone loves to gossip and a bit of drama, and people always try to make up things that famous people did. However, it usually isn't true at all.

What's true is that some celebrities have decided to invest their time and money into building an empire of their own, and we have many examples to look up to. 

Scott Cooper 

He is a great example of building a career from the ground up.

Scott Cooper, Miami, was born in Virginia in a regular family, and he went to study for an acting and writing career. Later on, he started producing Crazy Heart in 2009, which lead him straight to fame. 

After that, he has worked with many talented directors and actors; Christian Bale being his last companion. Scott Cooper built his career with dedication, hard work, and a business mind. It isn't just about business, though; he also has his humanitarian side. This led him to start a scholarship program for those who can't afford higher education. 

The Kardashian Family

Everyone has their opinion about this family, but we can't deny their business skills! 

It all started with Kris, who married a prominent lawyer named Robert Kardashian. She went on to have three beautiful girls who then later became the most famous and influential people on the planet. 

Their fame began with a scandal that Kris turned into an amazing business opportunity for her daughter, Kim. Afterward, they all jumped into fame as a beautiful family with lots of drama. They built a strong empire, and we should all learn lessons to apply it to our lives.

Their empire has taken over the world, and they have a saying in pretty much every big industry. They are huge on Instagram, own clothing lines and makeup brands, are present in the modeling industry, and they are even an inspiration for fitness girls. 

They have a gift for marketing every scandal and making vast sums of money every single day.

Jessica Alba

We all know Jessica Alba from her acting career, but most people don't know that she runs a successful business. 

She is a mother of three lovely kids, and her primary job is taking care of them. But when she noticed that most baby and makeup products contained harsh chemicals, she decided to do something about it.

From that moment, she started creating The Honest Company. We may have bought from this all-natural company, but most people didn't notice that Jessica Alba ran it. This company offers makeup, skincare, baby products, and even cleaning supplies - using non-harsh chemicals, of course.

She found her passion and is building an enterprise by following her maternal instincts. 

Final Thoughts

Being a celebrity isn't just about social media and acting jobs. They need to have a business mind in order to protect their assets later on when their career is over.
