J.K. Rowling topped poll for the most inspiring female celebrity entrepreneurs

November 16th 2007 01:33
J.K. Rowling has topped the poll for the most inspiring female celebrity entrepreneurs.

The research by everywoman, an online network for businesswomen, and NatWest was based on interviews with 1,887 women whose businesses had an average turnover of 1.3 million pounds about role models for women who want to run their own companies.

The poll found 86 percent of participants agreed that celebrity entrepreneurs played a positive role in encouraging women to set up businesses.

Those aged under 25 were three times more likely to be influenced by celebrity entrepreneurs over traditional role models, which the researchers said showed their influence is shaping the next generation of business owners.


Here is a lit of the top 10:

1. J.K. Rowling - author

2. Anita Roddick - founder of The Body Shop

3. Margaret Thatcher - former Prime Minister

4. Jacqueline Gold - CEO Ann Summers

5. Martha Lane Fox - co-founder of lastminute.com

6. Karren Brady - managing director of Birmingham City Football Club

7. Delia Smith - cook, author, broadcaster

8. Michelle Mone - founder of Ultimo lingerie

9. Nicola Horlick - founder of Bramdean Asset Management
