10 celebrities who earned millions from their second careers

2. Paul Newman

Paul Newman is a unique entry on this list; not only is he the only featured celebrity who is no longer with us, but he is the only one whose secondary career didn’t benefit him personally – he gave all theproceeds away to charity. Newman is most famous for his searing blue eyes and his ice-cool performances in films such as The Hustler and Cool Hand Luke. In his entrepreneurial career, Newman found better uses for eggs than to hard boil and eat fifty of them – his range of foods included an iconic salad cream.

The Newman’s Own range was co-founded in 1982 by Newman, with an eye to giving away 100% of the profits that it made to educational, charitable and religious organisations. The company began with the commercialization of the homemade salad dressing that Newman concocted in his own kitchen. By New Year’s Eve 2014, the Newman’s Own company had made a total of $429 million after tax, all of which was donated to selected causes.
