...or at least her organic diaper company's about to make her one:

Jessica Alba's Startup Is Worth Nearly $1 Billion

Celebrities ranging from basketball All-Stars to miscreant pop stars are desperate to cash in on Silicon Valley's boom. But rarely are they as successful as Jessica Alba.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the superstar actress's environmentally-friendly baby care startup, The Honest Co., recently closed a $70 million fundraising round. That investment now values her company just shy of a billion dollars, and it's only growing

:ehh:
Not bad for a cute-but-mediocre actress. I know her husband is at home like :myman:

Isn't that other Jessica (Simpson) nearly worth a billion too?

I was just reading an article where they were interviewing her about the new "Sin City" flick. She mentioned having a business that was doing well, but I wouldn't have thought it was doing THIS well. :ohhh:

Inspiring. :leon:

Yeah I remember that same interview. I know about the company but I had been like "LOL fancy diapers, whatever :jawalrus:" - not remembering that this is the same country that has made sustainable businesses out of $6 cups of coffee and $4 slices of toast.

I can't hate, though. At least diapers and healthy baby products are relatively useful:manny:
