To celebrate World Tequila Day, Naomi Kaplan reveals the musical legends, models and TV stars who've started their own Tequila brands on the side.
When you look at the array of stars who've invested in tequila it seems they all thought to themselves "Instead of being someone else’s Tequila brand ambassador, why not just create my own?"

3. George Clooney's Casamigos Tequila
George Clooney and Rande Gerber’s Casamigos was worth a LOT - $1billion to be precise, with Diageo shelling out for the brand just last month. Clooney and Gerber will still be involved though, with nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram, the duo have been successfully selling their high-life status as an ‘obtainable’ lifestyle (if you drink Casamigos, of course), while accumulating many other celebrity acquaintances as ambassadors for the popular brand.

4. Jennifer Hawkins Sesión Tequila
Aussie hubby and wife power couple Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall created their own Tequila brand back in 2015 after an inspirational holiday where they fell in love with the many flavours and textures tequila offers. Moreover, the two certainly know how to market themselves with a 'happy', 'sexy', 'free', lifestyle associated with Sesion, as presented on Instagram. Check it out here @sesiontequila.
