Celebrity Jessica Alba was recently named one of the richest self-made woman in the media, after making a business name for herself establishing the Honest brand back in 2011.
Formerly known as the Dark Angel and Sin City star back in the early-mid 2000s, Alba went onto to create a company that specialised in providing non-toxic household products and baby items after falling pregnant with her first child.
The company has grown massively in a short space of time, achieving huge success thanks to Alba's initial bright idea and her team of dedicated researchers. An inspiring note for my young female readers out there - you can gain power and position as long as you have the right, marketable idea!
Here is a list of other female celebrities with successful companies built upon their own name:
VICTORIA BECKHAM - VB Fashion Line, launched 2008
You can't miss a Fashion Week without peeping the new collection of VB designer items, which are hugely popular among celebrities attending the most special media events.
The line continues to create sleek, flattering clothes displaying the high fashion tastes that Posh Spice always approved of back in the Spice Girl days.
NICOLE RICHIE - HOUSE of HARLOW jewellery line, launched 2009
Matching Nicole's delicate yet edgy and hippy vibe, the collection became instantly popular and is still going strong today. Nicole has also gone on to create a handbag collection and a fragrance.
GWEN STEFANI - L.A.M.B. Fashion Line, launched 2004
Gwen is my ultimate style inspiration, so its no wonder she hit the fashion jackpot with her clothes collection over a decade ago.
The collection is influenced by the rockstar's bold, eclectic style and is still successful to this day.
BEYONCE - TOPSHOP, VEGAN COMPANY & TIDAL, food and music-sharing platform, launched 2015
A master of many things, Beyonce is an unstoppable force outside of music also, joining with TopShop to create a clothes collection due out this year, as well as a healthy food company.
The superstar also joined forced with other superstars earlier this year to launch Tidal, a music-sharing platform of which the music stars have a say in what is exclusively accessible to their fans.
