One industry? That'd be too easy for these celebs.

Whether you aspire to be an actor or musician, getting the shot at a big break is hard enough. But managing to make a career outside of what you were already famous for? Now that's an art. Here are 25 celebs that made it big beyond music, movies, and TV:

1. To start, Kylie Jenner is always hustling between takes on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. From the viral lip kits at Kylie Cosmetics to her newly launched KHY clothing line, she's got her name in the game almost everywhere — even the alcohol industry with the release of the canned cocktail Sprinter.
