So, how did she go from being a twenty-something model and stockbroker to an international icon? Read on to learn more about Martha Stewart's fascinating history and her path to success. 'The job taught me so much about what it takes to build a real business, a real company-a meaningful and useful enterprise,' she has said of the experience. After college, Martha became an institutional stockbroker. Martha left her home state of New Jersey to attend Barnard College in New York City, where she majored in history and architectural history and did modeling on the side to earn some extra money, something she'd been doing since high school.

Growing up, her mother, Big Martha, was her 'greatest teacher.' She instilled in her a love of cooking, among many other things, which would go on to serve her well, along with the fanbase she'd build with her cookbooks, cooking show, and beyond.

Martha's rise from New Jersey girl to the most trusted expert in home, entertaining, and food is as inspiring as her current life as a successful entrepreneur. But long before she was a lifestyle expert and a household name, Martha was one of six children who would pursue modeling and a career as a stockbroker before realizing her true calling. When you hear the name Martha Stewart, you probably think of her in relation to the empire she's built: magazines, homewares, TV shows, books, and everything else she's created to help people live a more beautiful, inspiring life.
