She's a lot smarter than people give her credit for . Keep rocking Jessica 💙 ya 😉💯
I love about Jessica she doesn't focus on what people talk nonsence about her because she's very humble person n she still a good roll model n I'm a big fan keep up the good work .
i love jessica she found her nitch and ran with it....shes so beautiful with or without make up
She is awesome, I just love her. The best thing about her in my opinion. She doesn't fake it through. Her business surpassed what she even expected I'm sure. I love that she genuinely is surprised by it. She fully gives credit, where credit is do. I bet she makes everyone that works for her feel. they should have just has much input and respect she feels she gets. I think she misses singing though. I wish her all the best and a balanced life.
It's really nice to see a successful story and just look at it as an inspiration.
I love you Jess huge fan you go girl!!
wow her Tuna moment turned her into a Billion Dollar Business
James Hanley Haha so true. That show was a blessing in her life for sure.
It takes way more than that to reach the Success she has.
I just adore her. 🥰 She completely inspires me.
She is truly inspiring! Hard worker..beautiful woman inside and out!
Her dress is on point
We’ll always love you Jessica keep up the great work!!😘🙏🏼💞🦋❤️
glad to know ur business is doing so great! why people cant stop hating and critizing??? she is where she deserves to be, just like us, so dont be haters and support others on their success and happiness,

She got extremely lucky in meeting Nick and doing Newlyweds on MTV, her brand image skyrocketed because of that show and it's massive popularity, she has been capitalizing on it ever since, she is really nothing special, the reality is she is your average moron with great looks and an ability to sing who surrounded herself with talented business, creative, and marketing partners who knew how to build a business around her with her brand power, without Newlyweds she would've been a forgotten teen pop star
SXI96 Agreed. If it wasn't for Nick Lachey (teen heartrob), whom at the time was much more popular and made millions of $$$ more, Jessica would be just another washed-up musicians ex wife. Like Britney Spears, they're both just
entertainers, they're definitely not Christina's, Mariah's, Whitney's or Adele's who are actual singers.
Jealousy. Self-Hatred will make people hate in others.
@@SXI96 *Nick was lucky to be with her.* She was the one with the Money, that's why *_Nick got $2Million from their Divorce_* which helped him & his wife over the years. 98°Degrees ended. Jessica got the Movie & Record deals Not Nick which put a strain on their marriage. So the Luck was his. She released 7Albums and Starred in 5 movies & 3 TV Series.
He has Nothing to do with where she is Today. Reality TV and being Pop Stars made them 'both' famous. *_To succeed in a clothing line takes Creativity, Talent, business-sense and Quality & Relatability of the Products. Jessica mastered all of that with her line of Clothing, Shoes and Jewelry. Her NetWorth alone is $200 Million._* She is forever present on Social Media and engages with her Fans & Customers. That's why she has reached Success with her Business. _So many super popular and famous people started clothing lines that never reached success._
@@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496 Nick and Newlyweds has EVERYTHING to do with where Jessica is today, before that show, she was a very average teen pop star, once her and Nick became a couple, it jumpstarted her career, the press started paying much more attention because they were a beautiful "it" couple.. then once Newlyweds became a massive hit on MTV, Jessica's career blew up, her brand image skyrocketed which she has used to further her career to this day, people wanted to work with her after she became hugely popular and loved from Newlyweds, (example: The Dessert line of products), she had absolutely nothing to do with creating those products, but once she collaborated with that line, it sold very well, that's brand power..
She would be no where near as successful today if she did not meet Nick and do Newlyweds on MTV, her career before Nick and Newlyweds really wasn't going anywhere, people really didn't care much about her until they became a couple, the press ate that up, the press and public love beautiful couples like Nick and Jessica, it sells magazines, it attracts viewers, both of them made that show a massive success
Well done Ms/r. Simpson success in life is the return of your good steps that you took.
She's the identity of the brand, and also listens to her customers. These are both huge parts of what makes a brand work. She also believed she could be successful, and is committed to growth. Kudos to her!!🎉🎉🎉
I've been a super fan from day one if her opening her mouth. To me she is totally underated in her singing. She out sings Brittany spears by far. She keeps it real in life in general. I believe her main success is the way she bed herself. She fashions her clothes for the everyday woman or girl or mom, even grandma, she makes everyday clothes. She makes sure she fashions all her products for the everyday person to buy. Prices r perfect and relatable.
Jessica really is a hard worker!
She’s so beautiful. I really like her a lot. Her clothes and shoes, the designs are so pretty!
Very inspiring as a woman
She an example of we can be successful
Having worked in private label manufacturing, Jessica is most likely only involved at the very top level of the process - where she picks things she likes, a design team does the foot work, shows the designs to her, she approves the one she likes, samples are made, and someone else decides which ones will move forward based on margins and what the buyers want. I seriously doubt she has any more say in it than that, it certainly doesn't sound like it by how she answers the questions.
unsignedredefined That's what I think too. She doesn't articulate herself too well which makes me think she was never heavily involved.
Its her name that gets people to buy her clothes. Thats ALL her. Hows shes acted throughout the years. All her clothes is still Jessica certified.
unsignedredefined Did you not look at the interview?.....she clearly stated that she does not take the ALL the credit for her success...
Eli B. Furthermore stop trying to undermine her success by stating she doesn't do anything. At the end of the day she had an idea, surrounded herself with the right people and produced a billion dollar company under the age of 40, what do you do again?....I'll wait
Eli B. Might want to work on your reading comprehension skills, lol. I never stated or even implied Jessica doesn't do anything, I'm sure she participates at the very top level. Typically if a celebrity name is used, like the Honest Company with Jessica Alba, or Donald Trump's clothing line in Macy's - the celebrity's name is licensed by a 3rd party marketing company and the celebrity is involved at the endorsement level if there is enough money involved. The only exception I know of is Josie Maran, she is hands on during product development. I know this because the private label manufacturer I worked for bid her body butter collection and went through months of samples and revisions to refine the viscosity and fragrance to her specifications. In the end, we lost the bid because of price. Most people (you included) have a very unrealistic idea of how consumer goods are produced, and more importantly - who the decision makers are in that process. To elaborate further, big box retailers have buyers with sales goals and specific demands the brand must meet. This means much of the product development is driven by the store, ie Macy's/Dillard's. You can make frilly blouses, but if they don't meet specific margins, in specific quantities, available in specific colors, with specific availability from the distributor, the buyer will pass on your product and move on to the next. Do you think Lauren Conrad really communicates with the Misses Petites buyers at Kohl's? Regardless, we'll never know the definitive answer because The Jessica Simpson Collection is a privately owned Corporation and doesn't disclose much with the public. A quick Google search reveals her shoe line is licensed to Camuto Group; now I know she doesn't design her own shoes (big surprise there). Anyway, there's no arguing with the ignorant masses of TH-cam, you're going to believe whatever you want. Just hearing Jessica's incoherent rambling should be proof enough she relies heavily on talents of others.
Jessica Simpson is the shit because she makes amazing shoes and clothes for low prices I wish I could take a picture of my stilettos I have from her that I only paid 30 for on amazon........ they look and feel like they should be worth 500
Wow! A lot of these comments are really mean. People are so judgemental. Maybe Jessica's a bit nervous. People that think she's ''dumb'' should remember that she's got a billion dollar business. lf you really listen to her, she sounds like she needs a drink of water, as dry mouth happens when your nervous.
I said that too. She keeps saying umm. That's a sign of being nervous
I love Jessica simpson more than Britney all of them she just seems genuine
Hottest woman to ever live. I love her.
undertow1985 I can't disagree with this statement...she may just be. Go watch "I think I'm in love." It should be illegal to look that good.
I love her shoes
She's like the modern Legally Blonde girl. She isn't stupid as her articulation leads people to think. Forbes wouldn't have interviewed her if he didn't believe she had a hand in her businesses success!
She's all over the place with these questions lmao love her ditz
She is an amazing gorgeous woman giving good hearted person 🍸🍸🍻❤
Beautiful young woman 👍👍👍💋💋💋

Jessica has surpassed Britney & Christina she has a Billion Dollar empire
James Hanley Britney is a pop icon, Jessica is a shoe seller
Rudelicious Billionaire dahling
Jessica’s a very smart girl.
What on earth could she say that would be worth remembering? Having just watched it all I can say nothing.
Ryan 9000 she is speaking to women. She mentions relating to women in middle America many times; providing fashion options that appeal to a broad range of women at affordable prices. Confidence and versatility
Not everything everyone does changes the world, but that doesn't mean she's not being productive.
I had to watch it twice. I had to look at her the first time. SOOOO hot!
KING KRYPTON right bro
Get a life
all my best in 2016 jess
This guy listening doesn't probably give a crap about what she is saying. This is ridiculous.
Her business in women's fashion doesn't interest him. That doesn't make her invalid.
I feel like he dissed her in the beginning...like he was embarrassed to be interviewing an entertainer. Not cool. You do presidential debates, so what? Jessica earned her way into that seat. Have some respect.
I think his testosterone surged and he wasn't used to that, and kind of fumbled and stumbled around until he could get over being mesmerized by her feminine gorgeousness!
@@sagency agreed 👌🏽
jess sure is a big beauty wow/
Ohhh negative comments and unhappy haters in here hahaha
welcome to the billi club lady lol
Apparently her mother runs the company maybe she should be on the stage js
This is the most uncomfortable interview ever - he asks questions but isnt having a conversation, he is firing questions and not responding AT all to her answers. She also seems drunk!
Sharlene Hill this is Forbes not Oprah or the actors studio
Dumb? LOL!
Well if being dumb can translate to having a business that runs over a decade and still going strong i want some of that then..
That's just her personality, the fun and just down to earth person, she's not trying to look "smart" she replies the question with her own way of talk and the answer is actually on point and just because someone is blonde and beautiful doesn't mean they are stupid!
Forbes does look underwelmed & bored with this interview. He seems almost surprised at how basic the conversation is.
I'm sure he knew that going in. She's not a politician. She did a fine job explaining how she keeps her business relevant and successful. That's what they were there for. He was probably bored by the nature of her business. Not a lot of men want to talk about women's fashion. That's understandable.
Ahh... this is painful to watch.. although her response sound somewhat articulate and heartfelt they are never answering the question he asked.. but in her defense shame on the commentator to think at her level she is hurting and firing.. one of the ill answered questions was regarding how she finds designers etc. she can trust to essentially get the job done right.. when in reality she is being presented clothing she ya’s it nay’s it and at the very most suggests a improvement. Does he really think with a company of this magnitude she is in the textile shops pulling fabric and firing the designer that doesn’t meet her deadlines?? She is beyond that way beyond.. like I said her idea of being a designer is being able to pick an outfit out of a lineup.
Her book came out around 2017. She wrote that she had a drinking problem. I think she was drunk in this interview.
she really needs to stop with the lip injections.
she confuses me. i can't tell if she's playing a role of an intellectually challenged or she really is like that and levarages is to the max. i doubt the brand would do that well consistently for a decade if she was just a hands off face behind it. she does credit her mom a lot who might be a business ninja like kris jenner.
Jessica was extremely lucky to meet Nick and do Newlyweds on a major network like MTV. Her brand image and appeal skyrocketed during that show and she has been exploiting it ever since. Not only that, she has surrounded herself with excellent management and business partners. These people know how to sell and market her products, and make a lot of money in the process.
Calling her a CEO is very misleading imho. She is a moron with good looks for the most part. She gets all the credit, but she got super lucky with the exposure from Newlyweds to build her image and capitalize on it. Her popularity blew up during that show. Without that show, she would been another forgotten teen pop artist from the 90's/early 2000's.
Well Nick was lucky too
Yup agree but.... so glad for newlyweds!! I love Jessica and Nick!
I'm sorry, but I don't believe that she was the founder of the company. I don't believe either that she designs the clothing (like she claims she does.) She's talking like she's 100% hands on and a driving force behind the business and I don't believe it. She's all over the place, inarticulate and unfocused. Sorry. The whole interview sounds insincere.
"Smart people" stick with Science, being lawyers, etc and people like Jessica own the material world. Don't know what's hard to believe... I always sucked at Math but I won Best Dressed at school every year.
ok hold up! what about the men that created Dolce & Gabanna or Calvin Klein or who is that crazy lady with the huge lips...Donatella Verstace I believe...do you really think that they would give any better speech? These are artists who design and make clothes they are not Steve Jobs or Bill gates. but I think Jessica Simpson is the most down to earth person and she knows what woman want and clearly she does because her clothes rock and she is very successful and is smart enough to hire and keep very talented and smart people around her. I wouldn't discredit her at all. Jennifer Lopez and Lauren Conrad(who actually has really great clothes) and Nicole Ritchie and so many other celebrities have brands but Jessica's is worth so much more. I wouldn't discredit her opinion at all.
lisaheart12... Jessica's parents ARE the backbone to her success. Also, celebrities are setup with ONLY the TOP investors, consultants and PR/marketing powerhouses. Additionally, Jennifer Lopez's T.v. shows, hosting appearances and music makes millions of $$$ MORE than Jessica's clothing line! Jennifer started her perfume, accessories and clothing lines several years AFTER Jessica. So, Jlo in fact, is doing much better by far. Futhermore, Lauren Conrad's brand is for frumpy, plain Jane, no sex appeal mid western White girls, like her. She's not at all that, she's just a White girl from a prestigious beach town in Cali. Her brand IS just like she is, completely boring and unappealing! Moreover; Jessica's shoes hurt like hell, like JLo's they're cheap crap, and overpriced as hell. But, are highly sought after by desperate, aimless, women stuck in crappy rural towns, who are current and former teen moms. Basically Jessica and Ashlee wannabes!
2020 over Billion dollar company Jessica Simpson line
Her shoes are not comfortable I bought a pair and never would buy another.
Snooze though
oké. oké. mis Simpson. you dont Love Nick anymore. but you dont have to call him " a mistake" All the Time! First you wanted him, and Made sure you get him fall in Love with you. then hè support you, loved you and helped you with performance studio recording and backup, and duet with you. you cant sing and hè helped you get famous also newly weds was never a succes Without him. you should thank him for his support and Love. and Just because your clothing brand is now a succes. stop calling him a mistake. its Not a car its a human!
Daisy Luckerath coming from one of her backup singers, I must say that this is an interesting comment. She is an incredible vocalist and you are incredibly mistaken... go find your success and spread positivity
Jessica was spoiled while growing up and Nick loves to criticized her, was not that helpful; he was actually unrespectful to her, you can see it how he talked to her or while he walked around inside their house during their marriage. How he treated her was a big mistake that he did. Nick deserved to be divorced, that's a good lesson for him because he only loves himself.
When did she call him a mistake?
She's JUST LUCKY, NOT TALENTED !!!
Give us all A BREAK !
UGH :/
Jealous much?
Its better to be lucky than be a pop icon that end up having trouble her whole life
