"When they're not busy recording, touring, filming, or promoting, many world-famous musicians, actors, TV personalities, and athletes also fancy themselves entrepreneurs in the hospitality field. As a result, some stars now own fast food joints, while others prefer to invest in trendy bars and clubs or fine dining spots. You'll see some of these celebrities actively promoting their venues on their social media accounts and lending their faces to their official merchandise."
"New Kids on the Block fans are probably aware that Donnie Wahlberg, Mark Wahlberg, and their brother Chef Paul Wahlberg founded Wahlburgers in 2011. This casual burger diner and bar has now spread to 15 US states as well as Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. The brand's biggest milestone to date, though, was signing a deal with the Boston Red Sox in 2022."
Many world-famous musicians, actors, TV personalities, and athletes invest in the hospitality industry, owning fast food joints, trendy bars and clubs, or fine dining establishments. Some celebrities actively promote their venues on social media and appear on official merchandise, while others remain discreet backers who contribute to décor or menu items and collect profits privately. In Greater Los Angeles, celebrity-backed establishments span varied concepts and cuisines, with examples including the Wahlberg brothers' Wahlburgers, which began in 2011 and expanded internationally, and other venues financially linked to Vanderpump Rules cast members, Danny Trejo, and Jay-Z.
