$400M Rich Reese Witherspoon’s Genius Business Idea in School Worked So Well The Teachers Shut it Down
Reese Witherspoon is one of the most established actresses in the world right now. The American actress has been making a lot of headlines recently after she announced her divorce from her husband, Jim Toth. The couple, who was married for almost 12 years, has decided to go their separate ways. According to sources, Witherspoon also officially filed for her divorce from Toth in the Nashville court.
According to the court documents obtained, it was actually Witherspoon’s decision to end her marriage. Witherspoon first started dating Jim Toth back in 2010 after she broke up with Jake Gyllenhaal. The couple got married back in March 2011 at her ranch in Ojai, California.
Now that her marriage is coming to an end, it seems like the actress is going to throw herself into her work. Along with her acting career, Reese Witherspoon is also a successful entrepreneur. So, the actress will have a ton of stuff on her plate to deal with.
Reese Witherspoon always had a business mind
Along with a successful acting career, Reese Witherspoon has also established herself as a successful entrepreneur. The Legally Blonde actress is the co-founder of the media company, Hello Sunshine. Witherspoon also founded the fashion and home decor company, Draper James back in 2015. But, as reported by sources, the American actress always had a passion for business ever since she was in third grade.
Back in 2019, Witherspoon talked about being suspended from school because of executing a business idea perfectly. As she told Vogue Magazine, the actress was “caught running a custom-barrette business from her desk“. She allegedly bought barrettes from a store, painted them at school, and then sold them for a profit.
The Wild actress was suspended from school at the mere age of 8 years old
Although she was running her business quite peacefully in school, the administration of Witherspoon’s school was not on board with the idea. In an unfortunate event, the paint pens leaked on her desk and she was apprehended by her teachers. Since the activity was clearly against the norms of the school, Witherspoon faced suspension at the mere age of 8 years old.
Regardless of the suspension, Reese Witherspoon never let go of her passion for being an entrepreneur. The actress now owns multiple companies on top of having a successful acting career and has a net worth of almost $400 million.
