Actress | Model | Entrepreneur: Jessica Alba is Forbes’ America’s Richest Self-Made Woman!
Forbes wrote, “The actress, a married mother of two daughters, makes most of her money from the Honest Company, a business she co-founded in 2012 that offers eco-friendly baby, bath, cleaning and wellness products. Alba owns between 15 and 20 percent of the company, which is valued to be worth $1 billion.” It’s like daaaaaaamnnnnnn girl, you’re seriously rockin’ it! From her days dancing on HONEY to running a huge corporation – it truly shows you can accomplish ANYTHING!
The Forbes issue contains a list of ’50 richest self-made women in the United States’, including Taylor Swift, Sandra Bullock, Beyonce, Judge Judy, & more.
Alba says she was inspired to launch her HONEST venture after experiencing difficulties finding non-toxic items for her kids. “I felt like my needs weren’t being met as a modern person. I want beautiful design like everybody else. But it shouldn’t be premium-priced, and it should, of course, be safe… I kind of want them to be cute, and the natural diapers: Why do they have to look like your baby’s wearing a brown bag?”
The company has 350 employees, including her own mother, Cathy.
“If we really want to make a difference in the world and people’s health, it’s billions and billions of dollars, not just one.”
Keep killin’ it GiRL!
