Celebrity Dreamers

摘要

"Welcome to Hollywood. What's your dream? Some dreams come true, some don't. But keep on dreamin'." Those lyrical lines from Pretty Woman, the hit movie about a corporate raider and a hooker with a heart of gold, resonated with me back then and remain stuck in my brain to this day. I wasn't after the Hollywood dream. Mine was the entrepreneur's dream-to start a company. Many of today's fresh-faced celebrities have that dream, too. Some are living it That's why this year's Celebrity 100 issue, our 13th annual ranking of the most powerful stars, focuses on the rise of Hollywood's entrepreneurial elite My involvement with this FORBES list goes back to my first stint here. FORBES had long tracked the wealth of entertainers. I proposed to Tim Forbes that we add athletes, authors and all the "models, actresses, whatevers" to a new list The Celebrity 100 was born.
