Before becoming the face of her popular lifestyle brand, Stewart was a stockbroker on Wall Street.
After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in history and architectural history at Barnard College, marrying Andrew Stewart and becoming a stockbroker, she then transitioned into a new career by opening a catering company.

In 1982, the first of many Stewart books was published, titled “Entertaining,” and it was all about how to host gatherings big and small.
Then came Stewart’s lifestyle magazine, which was published by Time Publishing Ventures, and her syndicated TV show, “Martha Stewart Living.”
From there, Stewart began launching different product lines focused around housewares.
This all led up to Stewart’s company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, going public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1999.

Stewart’s career was halted in 2004 when she spent five months in prison and five months under house arrest.
Her jail time was connected to her involvement in insider trading back in December 2001, when she sold her large stake in ImClone Systems, a biopharmaceutical company, the day before it announced negative news.
After serving her sentence, Stewart commenced a return to the public eye once again.
She has maintained a TV presence over the years, on shows like “Martha Bakes” and “Bakeaway Camp with Martha Stewart.”
The lifestyle expert has also teamed up with Snoop Dogg on many occasions, including for the TV series, “Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Party Challenge.”
