The Future. While influencers try to flaunt a glamorous life on social media, top celebrities are busy listing their business skill sets on LinkedIn. The evolution of fame may be the artist-turned-branding-empire… which may give A-listers plenty of financial freedom to fund the art they’ve always wanted to make.

Actors like Ryan Reynolds, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mindy Kaling, and Jennifer Lopez are showcasing their business successes alongside their unique personalities and quirks.
LinkedIn editor-in-chief Daniel Roth also says there’s been a 37% increase in pro athletes posting on the platform over the past five years, including soccer players like Amobi Okugo and Raphaël Varane.

Or, in the words of PR agent Mark Borkowski, “The world has gone corporate.”
