Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba is an American actress and businesswoman who started her career at the age of 13. She gained more fame at the age of 19, as the lead actress of the TV series Dark Angel for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. It didn’t take long for her to become a Hollywood actress, starring in a lot of famous movies, such as Fantastic Four (2005), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), Good Luck Chuck (2007), The Eye (2008), Valentine’s Day (2010), Little Fockers (2010) and so on.

In 2011, our beautiful actress co-founded The Honest Company, a consumer goods company. Alba is not only successful but is also considered one of the most beautiful women in the world by magazines like Men’s Health, Vanity Fair and FHM. According to Forbes, her estimated net worth in 2016 is an astounding $340 million.

Asked about the secret of her success she said that “the secret is surrounding yourself with people who are incredibly smart, staying focused on the mission and making sure — regardless the size of your company — is that you have alignment,” Alba told Vanity Fair. “Those are all very important things in building a business. It’s helped our company.”

Alba graduated from Claremont High School at the age of 16 and she subsequently attended the Atlantic Theater Company. So, as I said at the beginning of this article and Alba confirms, believing in your business, surrounding yourself only with positive people and working hard to make your dreams come true are the secret ingredients to a successful life.
