Kiana Tom is a fitness instructor today, but what was her beginning? A cheerleader, of course! For two seasons, she cheered on the Oakland Raiders and their fans. However, cheerleading wasn’t her main goal. She was all about fitness. In 1995, she started Kiana’s Flex Appeal, which is where most of her fame comes from.

The ESPN show was all about lifestyle, health, and fitness. It was one of the most popular shows on the network, so it launched a series of other spin-offs, including Kiana’s Too Fit 2 Quit, Summer Sizzle with Kiana, and Hot Summer Nights with Kiana. During this time, she somehow found time to star in Cyber Bandits and Universal Soldier: The Return. Tom now has a net worth of $1 million.

  • In February 2020, Jeff Bezos bought the most expensive property in California: a $165 million mansion. It was designed for Jack Warner (the former president of Warner Bros. entertainment company). It took a decade to construct (spanning the 1930s and 40s). It comes complete with 9 acres of Beverly Hills land, a main house, a guest house, a tennis court, a golf course, and terraces.
  • Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, many derided it as hideous and a publicity stunt, but it has since gone down as one of the most memorable dresses of all time—even if it isn't exactly beloved. She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
  • While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
  • When Rihanna debuted her famous red locks in 2010 (around the same time she was featured on Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie"), she started a red-hair trend. Over the next twelve months, she changed her hairstyle 13 times—more than once a month! But that came at a pricey cost. Sources say the annual price tag came out to $1,168,000 on just her hair.
  • After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies. In fact, she was one of two original editors for Michael Jackson's 2009 autobiography Moonwalk, a #1 New York Times bestseller.
