Typically, celebrities and investing seem like two entirely different subjects. That hasn’t always been true. There’s actually been a rich history of celebrities getting involved with publicly-traded companies as investors, active partners, and even board members.
To use one historic example, actress Grace Kelly once served on the board of 20th Century Fox.
Today, a myriad of celebrities can be seen as getting involved with a company. That may include a celebrity investment, like that of Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom in digital bank Aspiration Bank.
Or it could include a far more active investment and board seat like Oprah with Weight Watchers or Shaquille O’Neal with Papa John’s Pizza.
The fact of the matter is, there’s a blend between celebrities and companies, and there always will be. Celebrities are high-earners, and astute ones will make investments elsewhere. That’s why both Shaq and Michael Jordan have made far more money from their investments than from playing baseball.
Knowing how to balance time and money can be a key factor in a company’s success.
That said, there are a few differences. Like any enterprise, a business is a risky endeavor with no guarantee of success. Even with a celebrity bringing their skills to the table, a company could still falter. Weight Watchers had a difficult time with Oprah due to her demanding schedule.
And a passive investment by a celebrity in a firm doesn’t give investors much of an indicator of success at all—Aspiration Bank is struggling and in need of more capital right now.
Those caveats aside, when celebrities take a big stake in a company, and commit to being a part of it, there’s a good reason to expect some big success ahead. That’s why it’s interesting to see Shaq’s involvement with Papa John’s, and more recently Drake’s involvement with pot stock Canopy Growth.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
