As a business woman, she has proved to be very savv; a marketing and self-promoting genius, she built her own multimillion-dollar empire based on sales of her ghostwritten autobiographies and novels, her multiple reality shows, and her lucrative fashion and beauty merchandising lines. Thrice married, her personal life leaves much to be desired. She was criticized by many for putting her children in the spotlight, specifically her eldest son, Harvey, who had physical, emotional and mental challenges, but many supported her for bringing attention to special needs children. An icon to many and an embarrassment to others, this buxom model sharply divided feminist critics.
