Celebrities with thriving side-hustles: Ashton Kutcher, Rihanna and more
It's not enough for celebrities to just act, sing or model. These days, some A-listers — including George Clooney and Rihanna — are making more money from their side-businesses that they could ever dream of making from their original gigs.
On Thursday night, A Current Affair delved into the new wave of celebrity side-hustles that are making the stars even more rich and famous!
Here are some of the stars that are moonlighting — and making a fortune because of it.

In 2018, George Clooney was the highest paid actor in Hollywood... even though he didn't star in a single film. He and close friend Rande Gerber started Casa Migos Tequila. It developed into an extraordinary business and they sold it for US$1 billion in 2017.

Rihanna now makes more money from her Fenty beauty line than from her music. Because of her entrepreneurial streak, she was named the world's richest female musician in 2019 according to Forbes.
