Bethenny Frankel

She got her start on reality TV but now makes her money through cocktails. Bethenny Frankel, who first appeared on The Real Housewives of New York City, was once a natural food chef who had dreams of releasing her own line of low-calorie drinks.

And she did it. In 2011, her company, Skinny Girl Cocktails, was purchased by Beam Global, with reports at the time suggesting that the business sold for somewhere between $100 million (£75.9m) and $120 million (£92m). We’ll drink to that!
