Forbes Magazine has named TV star, fashion designer and New York Times bestselling writer Lauren Conrad as their newest columnist, not bad for a girl who started out her career on a reality TV series about spoiled rich kids.
Conrad will be a guest contributor to the financial publication where she will write weekly articles about her time spent in the fashion business, working on a celebrity website, working in the publishing industry and operating a business in the beauty and style industry.
The position, effective immediately will run for the next four months.
According to Forbes writer Jane Lee:
“Lauren’s jump from celebrity to entrepreneur puts her on the same trajectory as many a bright-eyed instant cover girl, but whether she can channel her persona into an enduring commercial tour de force remains to be seen.”
Here’s Conrad announcing her new post at Forbes:
