Forbes recently published its third annual 30 Under 30 Lists (which I really recommend you to follow!) featuring 30 young stars under 30 years of age in 15 different industries, including media, sports, tech, law and finance. On the Hollywood list is Olivia Wilde, the gorgeous actress you might know from watching The O.C. or House.
What you might not know: Olivia Wilde is also a successful social entrepreneur. She co-founded Conscious Commerce, which connects brands with international social causes. Through her company, best-selling dresses and bags helped fund schools in India and Haiti. This past year, Conscious Commerce raised $100,000 for New Light, which serves women and children in a red-light district in Kolkata, India. When it comes to social entrepreneurship, there may be many ways to be creative!!
Even with her current success, Wilde's life was not always rosy. According to an article in Daily Mail, the young actress once believed she was going to die after a divorce from an early marriage, and she felt that she was the only one going through such an experience. In retrospect, she recalls it as "a pretty juvenile mind set" and says the divorce provided her with an idea for a movie script.
Check out the 30 Under 30 Lists (http://www.forbes.com/special-report/2014/30-under-30/hollywood-and-entertainment.html) and let me know which successful young star is your favorite this year!
