Jimmy Buffett
While he has a “beach bum” persona, do not make the mistake of thinking that Jimmy Buffett is a lazy man! The hard-working singer-songwriter has actually dabbled in business, acting, real estate, and film production as well. He made a name for himself with “Margaritaville” back in 1977. During the ’80s, his concerts were always packed and even earned more money than his albums did. His business savvy led him to capitalize on the trademark Margaritaville lifestyle and opened a store in Key West, his hometown. He also launched a Margaritaville Café franchise and co-developed Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Madonna
Did you know that Madonna originally relocated to New York City in order to pursue a dance career? However, she landed gigs performing in rock bands and signed a contract with Sire Records. You can find “Lucky Star”, “Borderline”, and “Holiday” in her self-titled debut. Nonetheless, it was her second album that made her the star she is these days. We are talking about Like a Virgin, of course. She has since gone on world tours, appeared on the big screen, created a documentary, directed films, and entered different business ventures. She is also a philanthropist and has earned the most watched Super Bowl Halftime performance ever with 114 million views.
