Daniel Day-Lewis
Daniel Day-Lewis took a break from acting in 1997 to become a woodworker.
He moved to Florence for 10 months to work for an Italian shoemaker so that he could perfect the craft .
It took him 5 years to go back to acting and it required some persuasion from Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese.
50 Cent
Aside from being a hip-hop icon, 50 Cent is also a serial entrepreneur.
He often tends to explore different business fields.
In 2007, he decided to grow his business empire by starting a condom line.
At the time 50 Cent wanted to stand out more to youths and promote the importance of contraception.
He wanted to sell his condoms with a feature that enhances performance.
His idea didn’t go as planned because it went beyond modern science and thus 50 Cent had to abandon the project.
Madonna
Probably the most surprising of them all!
Madonna has actually written a series of children’s books.
The stories are based on Jewish mysticism.
The stories teach meaningful lessons to children while also being thought provoking for adults.
Snoop Dogg
...and probably the least surprising.
Snoop Dogg is referred to as the Marijuana Industry’s icon.
In 2015, he founded Casa Verde Capital to produce and dispense the product.
