8 weird companies started by musicians
As if it’s not busy enough being a singer and entertainer, these musicians decided to do more. Below you’ll find well known artists who have diversified their talents into entertainment, alcohol, technology companies and more.
1. Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. sells fashionable accessories such as shoes, bags and sunglasses – further endorsed by celebrity pals like Cameron Diaz.
2. Snoop Dogg is one of the co-owners of Reddit, a social media news site. He invested in the company with other celebs such as Jared Leto.
3. If you’re a vegan needing a home delivered meal, look no further than 22 Days Nutrition, co-founded by Beyoncé.
4. Speaking of vegans, Moby opened a vegan tea house in New York with his (now-ex) girlfriend. It has since closed down.
5. Bono from U2 bought a two-star hotel in Dublin and refurbished it into a five-star luxury retreat.
6. Céline Dion spent millions on a golf course in Canada, and loves hosting fellow celebs. Even Willie Nelson got in on the action – he’s got his own course too.
7. Dr Dre became a money-making machine when he saw a hole in the market for high quality headphones. Beats by Dre became the go-to brand worldwide (celebrities love them too, which helps).
8. Mark and Donnie Wahlberg and their brother Paul have a chain of burger restaurants with possibly the best name ever – Wahlburgers. There’s even a reality show of the same name.
