Jessica Simpson may not know the difference between chicken and tuna, but she can distinguish what's in style and what's not. 
And it's earning her A LOT of money. 
The pop singer's fashion empire raked in $750 million dollars last year, and it's expected to push to a jaw-dropping $1 billion this year as she expands her collection, according to an article in New York Magazine that will hit shelves on Feb. 21.

Only in America could a broad who doesn't know the difference between a chicken and a tuna, amass a $1B fortune.

To: driftdiver
    She’s fairly common looking. And either way, no one’s looks are worth $1B

    Pretty?

 She may be worth a billion, but it looks like she's taken her earnings primarily in the currency of fried chicken.
 
To: OldDeckHand
    Pretty AND smart. You don’t see that package very often...
*SMIRK*
One can only imagine the vast earnings of her ‘handlers.’

    She has savvy business handlers doing the actual work, she’s just the symbol and name to keep them going.

    as she expands her collection. . . .
 
To: GenXteacher
    I like the one I posted better. Yes she’s just the figure head but she seems to be doing ok. Good for her, seems to be an ok person as opposed to most in her industry.

    Good for her. Only in America...
 
To: Niuhuru
    Good for her. But she’s not making a billion dollars. She’s probably making a license fee of 8-10% of that which is still pretty darn good.

    I'd wager that was taken B.D. - before divorce.
 Recent pictures reflect a Simpson of greater (ahem) substance.

 
To: driftdiver
    I like them both, actually....

    Takes talent to find that sort of people, and put them in a position where they can make you money.
