Some people have entrepreneurial spirits. In Bethenny Frankel's case, it turned into a roaring empire with Skinnygirl, a brand that was first defined by its skinny-calorie cocktails. By 2023, the company has expanded to snacks, shapewear, and even a disaster relief initiative under the banner BStrong. Frankel built her businesses with intelligent marketing and a likable personality, becoming a titan in the food and lifestyle industry. She has also produced bestselling books and even started a popular podcast. Her profile puts her in the group of Hollywood's most successful entrepreneurs.
