Martha Stewart was born on August 3, 1941, in New Jersey. Before becoming the face of her successful lifestyle brand, she worked as a stockbroker on Wall Street.
After earning a bachelor’s degree in history and architectural history from Barnard College, marrying Andrew Stewart, and becoming a stockbroker, she shifted her career by launching a catering business.
In 1982, she released her first book titled “Entertaining,” focusing on how to host events of all sizes.

Stewart’s career faced a significant setback in 2004 when she served five months in prison followed by five months of house arrest.
This was related to her involvement in insider trading in December 2001 when she sold her significant stake in ImClone Systems just before they announced unfavorable news.
After completing her sentence, Stewart gradually re-entered the public eye.
She has continued her television presence through shows like “Martha Bakes” and “Bakeaway Camp with Martha Stewart.”
