Every business requires founders who are focused, determined, and resourceful to make the company work. And when it comes to successful celebrity businesses…
The founders are incredibly dedicated and tenacious leaders not only because they have what it takes…
But because they are incredibly passionate about what are providing the world.
In this article, we put together three outstanding celebrity businesses that got their success thanks to the never-ending belief of their founders…
Pantalones By Matthew McConaughey And Camila Alves
While the market has been inundated with celebrity alcohol businesses…
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’s tequila brand, Pantolones…
Marks the first time the married couple became business partners.
As for the tequila brand’s success, despite being about one year old…
PANTALONES’ DISTRIBUTION IS NOW EXPANDING TO THE REST OF THE UNITED STATES.
As far as other celebrity businesses go, Pantalones prides itself on not being taken too seriously. But for McConaughey and Alves, tequila is a part of their love story.
McConaughey knows exactly what the dynamic with Alvez is like both in their relationship and business partnership…
“WE MET OVER MARGARITAS, AND FROM THAT FIRST SIP, WE KNEW WE WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING SPECIAL TOGETHER.”
While it’s not unique for celebrities to go into the liquor industry (Breaking Bad costars even created their own Mezcal)…
A married couple starting a business based on their love for the thing that brought them together is a good recipe for success…
MíLá By Simu Liu
When it comes to celebrity businesses…
Sometimes the business finds the celebrity.
In Simu Liu’s case, he originally stumbled upon MíLá…
A disruptor in the frozen food industry that distributes traditional Chinese soup dumplings…
Thanks to a friend of a friend.
Immediately, Liu became an angel investor, and when the company rebranded…
THEY INVITED HIM TO THE C-SUITE AS CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER.
Not every celebrity needs to build their businesses from scratch…
And it’s clear that Liu is loving the position so far…
“WHAT I LOVE ABOUT STARTUP CULTURE IS THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY ENCOURAGED TO BE DISRUPTIVE… AND TO CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO.”
As for the soup dumplings, you can find MíLá in Costco and Whole Foods all over the country.
Oh Norman By Kaley Cuoco
Celebrity businesses can be started for a million reasons…
For Kaley Cuoco, that reason was the love of her pitbull mix Norman.
In January 2021, when her pup Norman passed, Cuoco became committed to giving all dogs healthy, happy lives. So in 2023, she launched Oh Norman!
But Cuoco takes her company to another level that most celebrity businesses don’t consider…
At Oh Norman!, a portion of every sale is donated to help rescue dogs find their fur-ever homes. In fact, this kind of philanthropy was also a huge motivator for Cuoco…
“I WAS EXCITED TO START OH NORMAN BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR CLEAN, HEALTHY PRODUCTS THAT GAVE BACK AND I COULDN’T FIND THEM ON THE MARKET. HOLLYWOOD SHOULD BE INVESTING IN NEW INNOVATIVE IDEAS THAT COME FROM UNEXPECTED PEOPLE AND PLACES!”
While the pet industry is a hugely profitable one (see airline for dogs)…
Kaley Cuoco found a way to stand out from other celebrity businesses… and give back.
What To Learn From Celebrity Businesses
The key takeaway from all these celebrity businesses is that when you’re starting a company…
You need to be passionate about what your business can do for others.
If you don’t believe in the service you’re offering the world…
Your business isn’t going anywhere.
Be Great,
