For all intents and purposes, Jessica Simpson should not have a blossoming fashion career but here she is, making $750 million off The Jessica Simpson Collection. Vince Camuto, founder and CEO of Camuto Group, says Jessica has the perfect girl next door look and people see her as a style icon while Jack Gross, CEO of Jeanswear for The Jones Group, credits Jessica’s approachability for her success. From Popeater:
Indeed, Simpson graced the cover of WWD on Dec. 6, with the headline, “Jessica Simpson: Fashion’s Billion Dollar Baby.”
The Jessica Simpson Collection, it turns out, has become one of the most successful celebrity fashion lines of all time, according to WWD. It will most likely become the first ever to earn more than a billion dollars in retail sales, considering her line brought in a whopping $750 million in retail sales this year alone, WWD reports.
Simpson’s estimated net worth from all the shoes, clothes and accessories she’s selling? A cool $100 million. Not bad for the gal who famously wondered if tuna was chicken on her hit MTV series ‘Newlyweds,’ with ex-hubby Nick Lachey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. You mean to tell me The Jessica Simpson Collection isn’t a bacon of the month club? I’m thoroughly confused.
