She might have got a reputation as a total ditz when she starred in reality show Newlyweds (infamously thinking that buffalos have wings and that chickens live in the ocean), but Jessica Simpson must have a good business head on her - she's on track to become a billionaire!
According to WWD.com, the singer's various clothing and beauty ventures - which include shoes, handbags, denim, swimwear and fragrance lines - have racked up a huge $750 million (£500 million) in sales in the last year alone.
Talking about the venture, Jess' colleague, Vince Camuto, whose company is the main licensee for the star's own-brand merchandise, said he's convinced her success is all down to her fan-friendly image, explaining:
"People like her. People look at her as a style icon."
And on her new sportswear range, which is launching next year, Jess herself added:
"This new sportswear line reflects my evolving style, which combines comfort, femininity and flirty fun."
What with her impressive bank balance and engagement ring for beau Eric Johnson, we reckon she's already got everything she could possibly want for Christmas.
