Martha Stewart got her catering company off the ground by cooking everything herself, then hired staff as demand grew. She wrote her first book in 1982. The magazine launched in 1990. By 2002 she was running a media and retail empire worth over a billion dollars. Then came the insider trading accusation — she sold ImClone stock the day before the FDA announced it was rejecting the company's drug. She served five months in federal prison in 2004. She came out, went back to work, and rebuilt. At 80, she became the oldest person on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.
