Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine has become a successful production company creating female-led content. From Big Little Lies to The Morning Show, Witherspoon has always been influential in her mission to empower women. In 2021, Hello Sunshine was sold to the private equity firm Blackstone Group for nearly $1 billion. She founded Draper James, a Southern-inspired lifestyle brand that expanded into a clothing and home furnishings line.
