Martha Stewart | $400 Million

The mere mention of the name Martha Stewart will evoke delicious food and charming home designs and decorations. This is not surprising since she started out in catering where she hosted and cooked for high-profile personalities which led to a cookbook being published. This was the start of her career in the business and a growing empire too. Aside from several cookbooks and magazines catering to housewives looking for how to make their house a home, Stewart also appeared in TV shows. The more exposure she had, the more famous she became.

She was already a billionaire by the time she was embroiled in a controversy which caused her net worth to drop considerably. After her fall, Stewart was able to recoup her losses and is now back to doing what she loves best and that is cooking. To her credit, she has bounced back considerably and is now enjoying the limelight once again.
