More on Martha Stewart's fortune

Martha Stewart's 2025 net worth, which is $400 million, includes her work across media, publishing, product design, television, licensing, and digital branding. Notably, her early professional life included modelling and later stockbroking. However, reports suggest that her breakthrough came through food, décor and lifestyle media.

Stewart's latest Instagram post reads:

"Are you getting your home ready for Thanksgiving guests? Decorating doesn’t have to be expensive or burdensome, just moving existing furniture can transform and refresh any room. See what I did with two unused strong, narrow marble-topped tables and some potted plants. It’s on today's @marthastewartblog."

Stewart founded Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. The multi-branch enterprise manages magazines, television, merchandising, and more. When the company went public, Stewart became the first self-made female billionaire in the United States. Later, Stewart sold the company for more than $350 million in 2015.

In the latest American Eagle campaign, Martha Stewart gives "the greatest gift of all"

American Eagle took to their official social pages to launch their holiday campaign featuring Stewart. They captioned:

"Martha's given us the greatest gift of all: her presence… and her presents. And they’re both wrapped in denim. Give the gift of jeans and so much more with the AE Gift Guide 🔗"

Stewart wrote:

"When the gift is jeans, it’s always giving. Welcome to Martha's denim season. Start gifting @americaneagle #AEPartner #AEJeans"

Netizens were notably quick to flood social media platforms with their opinions as Stewart became American Eagle's latest holiday campaign star. One X (formerly Twitter) user stated:

""Some may want to say it was backlash, but backlash infers it hurt the company, but having Sydney Sweeney as the face of the campaign did nothing but help the company," she added. The Sydney Sweeney campaign was not controversial to anyone but the terminally online and the extremely liberal"

Another commented:

"What controversy? She did her ad campaign now it's Martha’s turn."

According to American Eagle's chief marketing officer, Martha Stewart was selected as the campaign face because she allegedly reaches almost every demographic segment the brand sells to.
