Excerpts from the Forbes article:
- While achieving celebrity is no longer the out-of-reach goal one can only dream about, care of reality TV and the Internet, the stars on our list offer far more than a reality show crown or a must-see YouTube clip. By and large, these 10 stars have dabbled across the entertainment landscape, parlaying their names and talent into brands.
