There’s no doubt, being a celebrity is a full-time job. From all-day film shoots to hours on the red carpet, every day is a full day! However, many stars have found some more time in their schedules to open some celebrity businesses. From elite alcohol lines to car dealerships, these megastars have found entirely new sources of income!
Still, not all celebrities hit a home run every time they step up to bat. While some celebrity businesses have become successful, some are still trying to get off the ground. Meanwhile, others have failed completely! Read on to see what companies the likes of Clint Eastwood, Eva Longoria, and Justin Bieber have started. You’re sure to be surprised about which ones have succeeded and which have failed…
1. Steve Carell – Marshfield Hills General Store
Actor Steve Carrell isn’t just one of the funniest men in the world, he also owns a business! Not only is Carrell from Concord, Mass., just a two-hour drive from Marshfield, but he and his wife, actress Nancy Walls, often vacation in Marshfield. As such, the actor wanted to preserve the general store as a local landmark when it almost shut down.
“The main impetus to keep it going is that not many of those places exist and I wanted this one to stay afloat,” Carell said. “Just, generally speaking, there are not that many local sort of communal places as there used to be. I think it’s nice for people to actually go and talk and have a cup of coffee and communicate with one another.”
