I used to say I would hate being a celebrity wife. Sure, you have buckets of money, but you
never see your husband, spend a lifetime in someone else's shadow, and are still exposed to unsolicited tabloid criticism ... mmm, no thanks. But an unconsidered perk? The
entrepreneurial potential. According to
The New York Times, a lot of these "celebrities-once-removed" are coming out with their own beauty lines lately—body creams, perfumes, oils, you name it—which are wildly successful due solely to (or
mostly to) the name attached to them. "Manufacturers, stores and those in the marketing chain tend to bend over backward for people with celebrity connections,"
The Times says. After all, you have the capital to throw behind the product, the shoe-in media attention, and a high-profile, hunky husband to throw in his ringing endorsement whenever he gets the chance. Honestly, how could it
not be wildly successful? Cue the Hollywood husband hunt.
