Contrary to popular belief not every celebrity just sits on their money thinking it will last until the end of time. We have all read stories about former stars who’s light has dimmed due to being less popular and/or blowing through their fortune. Not everyone who lands in the limelight is the same. In fact some work on the double to make sure they are ready for anything. Here’s a look at 10 celebrities with multiple side jobs. Talk about a super hustle.

Ryan Seacrest
If hustling was a competition in the Olympics this man would definitely medal. Seriously what doesn’t Ryan Seacrest do? He is host of American Idol, the radio program America’s Top 40, and the annual Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest – and these are just gigs with him in front of the camera. His company Ryan Seacrest Productions are behind popular television shows like all of those Kardashian spinoffs, Shahs of Sunset, Married to Jonas, and the E! Network’s Live From the Red Carpet awards coverage.

Mark Wahlberg
There’s a reason why Mark Wahlberg was named one of the highest paid actors in 2013: he really does work hard. Let’s see he just hosted the 2014 Kids’ Choice Awards, has a new season of his family reality show Wahlburgers premiering, and starred in six films from 2012 to 2013 with the blockbuster, Transformers: Age of Extinction, on the way. His resume as producer reads just as impressive. He’s responsible for television shows Entourage and Boardwalk Empire. Other ventures include ownership in the Barbados Tridents and AQUAhydrate with Puffy.

Kevin Hart
Will this dude ever stop? The sky is certainly not the limit for Kevin Hart who thus far continues to surpass all expectations. A the 2013 NAACP Entertainer of the Year, Hart is one busy little man starring in 25 films since 2003 with six more on the way. His faux reality show Real Husbands of Hollywood has struck gold on BET and is produced under his own company, Hartbeat Productions, along with many of his successful stand-up tours like Let Me Explain. He’s also got the green light from ABC to create a 30-minute comedy series.

Rihanna
As the most influential celeb on the web it’s almost assumed that Rihanna would have a serious hustle. We bop our heads to her music and keep our eyes glued to her never boring Instagram page. In addition to her songs, RiRi has several fragrances on the market, is the new face of Balmain’s 2014 spring/summer campaign, had a reality competition Styled to Rock, and a clothing line for River Island.
Steve Harvey
An original king of comedy, Steve Harvey has continued to remain both relevant and very employed. Host of his own show (Steve Harvey), he also hosts his own radio show The Steve Harvey Morning Show and Family Feud, the second most popular syndicated television show. When he is not giving advice or telling jokes on camera or radio, he’s writing, having had two New York Times bestsellers Straight Talk, No Chaser and Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, the latter of which was turned into two motion pictures. Oh yeah, and he is executive producer on those films.

Kandi Burress
While she might be on her way to becoming an official housewife, Kandi makes her own coins. She writes and produces songs, stars on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, hosts her late night web series Kandi Koated Nights, and has a successful line of sex toys called Bedroom Kandi that now has consultants across the country. And if you’ve been keeping up with the show, then you know she also had a stage show.

Nick Cannon
He might be making headlines for his “white face” antics (and getting screamed on for talking too much) but don’t let his foolishness trick you, Nick Cannon is very busy. Taking another stab at music with the album White People Party Music, Nick has his hand in a ton of ventures. He is host of America’s Got Talent and his sketch comedy show Wild N’ Out. As founder of N’Credible Entertainment, Cannon’s company oversees musical talent, film and television shows, and a series of products. And if you think that’s not enough for this 33 year-old, he also happens to be the chairman of TeenNick.

Well alright Onika! After a short run as a judge on American Idol, rapper Nicki Minaj has been keeping busy with her music and other endeavors. She has her own line of moscato called Myx Fusions (with Mona Scott-Young), perfumes and an affordable fashion line at K-Mart.
Tia & Tamera
This duo might be identical but are involved in their own ventures. Tia stars in the Nick at Nite sitcom Instant Mom and Tamera will join Tamar Braxton and others as co-host on the daytime talk show The Real. If you were fans of their reality show Tia & Tamera you can still catch these sisters collaborating on their product line for mothers that include stretch mark creams and lactation aides.
