From blankets and towels to dog food and kitchen equipment, Martha Stewart has gone so far from the caterer that she used to be thirty years ago. She’s now a household name plus a multimillionaire who built her name from scratch. Forbes ranks Martha Stewart number three in its one-time list of Hollywood’s richest women. In 2007, Stewart was estimated with a net worth of $638 million. America’s domestic diva has earned the reputation as one of America’s hardest working (and also most demanding!) executive. A selfmade woman, perhaps, her tough but determined personality could be best attributed to her parents, as well as to her cravings for success and staying on top. But let’s admit it, Martha’s one hell of an entrepreneur who made a name for herself.
She started out modeling when she was still in high school. She got paid $15 per hour, which she admitted was way “better than the $1 we were getting babysitting.”
