In 2005 Timberlake co-founded the fashion label William Rast, which pulls in an estimated $50 million at retail each year. Sales tripled in 2010 for his high-end brand of tequila called 901 – named after the area code in his home town Memphis. A golf enthusiast, Timberlake dropped $16 million in 2007 for a golf course in Tennessee. Expanding on his musical roots, the singer serves as CEO and chairman of Interscope record label Tennman Records. Meanwhile, the 30-year-old’s film career is hotter than ever – he’s appeared in over a dozen films, including the 2011 Academy Award-nominated film The Social Network.
