Jessica Simpson Says Her Marriage to Nick Lachey Was Her Biggest Money Mistake

Jessica Simpson went from a famous singer to being ridiculed for being so clueless to getting fat to performing at county fairs to now owning a $1 billion per year retail empire.

That was to give a quick backstory as to why she was interviewed by CNBC’s Kelly Evans about her Jessica Simpson Collection which started with shoes but now comprises over 30 different products. Simpson says she knows what women want and that when she’s at an approval meeting she thinks of what she’d want her nana to wear and what her kid would look cute in.

Anyway, back to the point. Evans asked Simpson what her biggest money mistakes were. Jessica, taking a moment to think, said, “I don’t know. For some reason I thought of my first marriage!”

Wow. I wonder why everyone in that room weren’t screaming in pain with their hands over their ears. The sound of shots fired in there would have been deafening.
