He's also a cheesemaker, producing his own cheese, mainly artisan and everyday cheese, and some of his products have been distributed to supermarkets.
Gemma Merna - 35 - Yoga Teacher
Gemma Merna is a quite recognizable figure in the UK, thanks to her modeling and acting success. Her most notable role was the one of Carmel McQueen on Hollyoaks, a popular soap opera which aired on Channel 4. Merna worked there for eight years until finally deciding to quit the acting industry to focus on yoga teaching. As she revealed in an interview on FEMAIL in 2016, working for 12 hours a day had exhausted her, and despite getting good earnings, she didn't regret retiring from acting to pursue her passion for yoga. Nowadays, she's a full-time yoga instructor and we think that she's quite happy with that.

NBA players trembled before Shawn Kemp and his unique athletic skills, and his dunks are surely still remembered. He was a six-time NBA All-Star, and we last saw him play basketball during the 2002-2003 season for the Orlando Magic. Since retiring, Kemp already had some investments he wanted to make in mind. Originally, he opened his own bar called "Oskar's Kitchen," which unfortunately closed in 2015. Moreover, he controls interest in many different Seattle companies which allow him to earn money since quitting basketball, something he really needs as he has seven kids!
Jeremy Edwards - 48 - Construction Worker
You'll see a lot of actors doing rather different stuff when they're not on set, but Jeremy Edwards surely picked one of the most bizarre ways to keep his bank account full.

From 2014 to 2018, he starred in the TV series Millie Inbetween. In 2011, it was reported that he had started working as a construction worker, and the British media just couldn't understand why. It seems though that Edwards is a hard-working man, and he's not afraid to show it.
Jessica Alba - 37 - Founder of The Honest Company
We knew Jessica Alba would become a huge star since we first saw her. What we didn't know is that she'd also become a very successful businesswoman and that she'd be great in wealth management and innovative ideas. Alba rose to stardom by starring in the Fantastic Four films, and since then, she's taken Hollywood by storm.

Sharona Alperin - 50 - Realtor
My Sharona is one of the most famous rock anthems in the history of music, and believe it or not, it referred to a real person. The song was released by Knack, a rock band whose guitarist was Doug Fieger. When Fieger was 25 years old, he came across the love of his life: Sharona Alperin. He described her as his muse and they even dated for two years, and Fieger wrote the song about her, as he couldn't stop thinking of her.

Macaulay Culkin - 38 - Musician
Macaulay Culkin used to be the adorable kid we all loved in the Home Alone film and its sequel. The films were a huge success, and it was obvious that Culkin had the skills to take over the acting industry and build a large acting portfolio. This didn't actually happen, as Culkin faced many personal issues regarding illegal substances and booze. However, in the last couple of years, he's made a strong comeback, and in 2019 he'll star in the comedy film, Changeland.

Garth though proved to be a woman with a solid business plan, and she founded MomGiftBox, a company which sells numerous household products for mothers. However, all the bucks she earns from sales are donated to philanthropic causes. Instead of cashing in on a fruitful business, Garth shows how kind-hearted she is.

In 2016, the group released their third and most recent record titled, Who You Selling For.

The last time we saw her on-screen was in 2012 when she played on Closer To God: Jessica's Journey. Voorhies also tried modeling as well, but it seems that she's now mostly focused on writing, and she's released three publications, one in 2010 and two in 2011.
Cameron Diaz - 46 - Author
There was no doubt that Cameron Diaz would be given the keys to the door of Hollywood stardom, and her talent was obvious ever since she starred in The Mask. Her film portfolio is truly impressive, including classics like There's Something About Mary, Charlie's Angels, and The Gangs of New York. It seems though that we won't be seeing her on the silver screen any time soon, as she's announced her plan to retire from acting in 2017. We can still read her publications though, as Diaz has released two of them: The Body Book and The Longevity Book. Judging by her looks, we can surely get some tips from her!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 71 - Author

Upon retiring in 1989, Jabbar had won six NBA Championships, while he's also been a part of the All-Star Team 19 times. Kareem keeps making public appearances and speeches, so it seems that a sedentary lifestyle doesn't suit him.

In 2016, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barrack Obama.

Chris Andersen - 40 - NBA Player
We don't think it's appropriate to call Chris Andersen a 'former' NBA player just yet. He's played for the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2016-2017 season, but an ACL tear left him requiring recovery from the injury for the season end. But that wasn't the last of Andersen - he was signed on with BIG3 to join the draft pool and he was selected by Power in the draft of 2018 BIG3, helping them take the win for the BIG3 Championship of 2018. Things were quiet afterward, and people began suspecting his retirement, but in November 2018, Andersen shared with a reporter that he is actually seeking a comeback and isn't retired, as most wrongly assumed.

Jim Carrey - 57 - Artist
There's no denying that Jim Carrey has made us giggle for hours countless times, whether as Ace Ventura or as God himself on Bruce Almighty.
