Letting go of stereotypes about how working in the entertainment industry is financially unstable – today’s A-listers of actors and musicians are rewriting this narrative with success. It’s not just about nailing roles or topping the charts anymore; it’s about celebrities entering the business world with other experiences or products of their own. From fragrance lines to restaurants, these stars are showing that they’re not just talented artists but also savvy entrepreneurs!
Amr Diab:
Though it’s very common internationally, it was a big surprise when superstar Amr Diab launched his “34 by Amr Diab Eau Du Parfum” fragrance! The AD for that perfume is iconic for one that came out less than 3 years ago! He also launched a limited fashion line under the same name.
Ashraf Abdel Baky:
When Ashraf Abdel Baky announced the opening of his restaurant “Tant”, it was proof that comedy is not his only masterful skill. The restaurant has witnessed many celebrity and food reviewer visits and is expected to be an even more popular place!
Ahmed Fahmi:
Along with Ahmed El Sawy, Hany El Fekky, and Mohamed Hashem, Ahmed Fahmi did us all a favor by bringing Meat Moot to Egypt with three branches to enjoy the delectable smoked meat of different kinds. He’s on a roll with Meat Moot, and we love to see it!
Moustafa Amar:
Mixing his passion for music and his business, Moustafa Amar has a cafe named Classic Rock with different branches where he performs occasionally, and that’s a sweet spot for audiences who love his music and want to show support.
With that being said, what do you think about actors and musicians seamlessly transitioning from entertainment to the business world?
