Celebrities... just like us... except with private jets, fashion contracts, brand empires, and, apparently, a gravitational pull that draws money toward them like moths to a Hermès flame. While the rest of us are negotiating with the barista over oat milk surcharges, the rich and famous are out here signing multi-million dollar endorsement deals, dodging lawsuits in couture, and flipping penthouses like they’re Pokémon cards.


Welcome to Celebrity Business Moves This Week, a shiny digest of how the rich are not just surviving — they’re thriving, diversifying, and monetizing every molecule of their fame. Let’s go.


Angie Mar’s Michelin Meltdown: Gourmet Glam with a Side of IOUs

It’s tough being a celebrity chef in New York — especially when your chic, upscale restaurant Le B allegedly racks up hundreds of thousands in unpaid bills. According to legal filings, Angie Mar’s glitzy culinary palace is operating more like a crypto startup circa 2021 — high vision, low liquidity.


Still, nothing screams “exclusive dining experience” like dodging creditors in a marble-clad dining room. Call it fine dining with financial seasoning.


Addison Rae: Boardroom Babe at the Grammys

In other business-meets-glamour developments, Addison Rae turned heads at the 2026 Grammy Awards in a bold business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back look. No, not a mullet — think “CEO goes clubbing.”


Red carpets are basically fashion runways fused with IPO prospectuses. With every outfit, Rae isn’t just making a style statement — she’s positioning her brand for endorsement deals, fashion collaborations, and licensing contracts. When you wear the right outfit, the net worth follows.


The $1 Billion Club: Brands Throw Money at Celebrities, Because Why Not?

Let’s talk numbers. Brands reportedly spent over $1 billion in 2025 just to slap celebrity names onto their ads, according to recent industry data. That number is only ballooning in 2026. If you’re not famous and your face isn’t selling toothpaste in Tokyo or tequila in Texas, are you even living?


From athletes to influencers, this is the age of celebrity-as-a-service. Endorsements are no longer side gigs — they’re core revenue streams, sometimes dwarfing the celeb’s original career.


Netflix & Zaslav: The Merger Heard ’Round Hollywood

Meanwhile, in the “Mega-Moves by Mega-Moguls” corner, Netflix’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. is still the biggest power play in entertainment. Yes, it’s mostly a corporate move, but let’s be honest — celebrity business empires are tangled up in these contracts.


This merger reshapes everything from A-list content contracts to back-end profit participation, aka how celebs make millions off your binge-watch habits. The biggest stars are already circling like sharks in Gucci suits.


Side Hustles? Try Real Estate Moguldom

Let’s not forget the most bougie of celebrity business trends: luxury real estate flipping. Whether it’s Josh Allen or Ellen DeGeneres, moving multi-million-dollar mansions is the new celebrity tax strategy/self-care ritual. You relocate, redecorate, then relist for a casual $5M profit. We love a side hustle that comes with a tennis court.


The celebrity playbook to follow in 2026 is:

  • Launch a brand

  • Wear something iconic on a red carpet

  • Partner with a Fortune 500 company

  • Buy property, flip it, buy more

  • Deny all allegations gracefully, preferably in Prada
