Jessica Simpson's Fashion Empire Nearing $1 Billion

Jessica Simpson's fashion empire is projected to make history this year, by becoming the first ever celebrity fashion line to earn one billion dollars in annual sales. The singer-turned fashion designer's clothing line raked in an astonishing $750 million dollars in sales last year, making it the top selling celebrity clothing empire.

Jessica, 30, launched her Jessica Simpson Collection in 2007 with a line of handbags, shoes and boots and has since expanded it to include watches, clothing, cosmetics, luggage, bathing suits, and fragrances, which are all sold in major department stores across America.

Her sales have risen by almost a quarter in the last 12 months and that put her in the same league as American fashion titans - Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang and Donna Karan.
