We've shown you the celebrities who have made a name for themselves in businesses outside of their chosen industries, but what about the ones who weren't so lucky?
These are some of the biggest stars' biggest business fails. While not all of them are completely out of businesses, Oprah's disastrous OWN is still on the air, but many of these celebrities need a crash course in entrepreneurship.
Take a look at these ridiculous, irritating, or terribly thought out side ventures.
Nicky Hilton didn't inherit the "hotel" gene.
Nicky Hilton is terrible at making hotels.
How ironic.
The hotel heiress strayed away from the family business by attempting to build a 94-room luxury hotel located on Ocean Drive in Miami just in time for the 2007 Super Bowl. The suites would have been priced at $1,000 a night for the big game, and Hilton even started preparing for a secondary location to be set in Chicago.
However, the building was plagued with problems from the ground up and it was never finished. The icing on the cake was when Hilton's contractors sued her for improperly advertising and endorsing the hotel. The heiress should probably just stick to designing clothing lines and beauty products.
Natalie Portman tried too hard to be eco-friendly.
In 2008, Natalie Portman decided to appease all of the vegan people around the world by introducing a new vegan-friendly line of footwear.
The company with whom Portman collaborated, Te Casan, released the shoe with a steep price tag of $275 for a pair of heels.
Not even a whole year later, the parent company and Portman's creation were shut down because of low sales.
The Kardashians are terrible at banking. Not a surprise.
Considering how much the Kardashians love putting their "K" monikers on everything, a prepaid card seemed like the obvious way to go.
The Kardashian Kard was created in 2010 for teens who wanted to have the experience of a card and for parents who wanted to control their kids' spending habits.
But the card was filled with ridiculous fees from the starter fee of $60 to $100, to the Bill Pay-Per Item fee of $2. Check out the rest of the ridiculous fees here.
The card was "kanceled" less than a month after its release and the Kardashians disavowed it completely. "Saturday Night Live" was quick to make jokes at the sisters' expense
