12 celebrities you didn’t know owned a food brand

Our favourite pop princess, Kylie Minogue, has had her own wine range for several years. Aptly labelled Kylie Minogue Wines, she sells pink in a bottle, with a rosé and prosecco available in most bottleshops across Australia. 

Hugh Jackman founded ‘The Laughing Man’ Coffee and Tea Co. in 2009 after a visit to a small coffee farm in the village of Kochere, Ethiopia. Since then, the business has grown massively, and lives true to their slogan ‘All Be Happy’. Operating out of Manhattan in NY, there’s also a great cafe you can visit to get a cup of joe.

The ever-mysterious Steve Smith quietly entered the food and beverage scene in 2021. In fact, he was ahead of the game when it came to his brand, OMG, which stands for Oat Milk Goodness. After not being able to find the delicious oat milk he tried in New York in 2018, Steve took it upon himself to make an Aussie version that was just as good. 

Although we all still think of Sam Neill as a certain famous grumpy palaeontologist, his vineyard and wine brand have been slowly chugging along for years now. Opening in 1993, Two Paddocks started out as a tiny vineyard, but now it takes three different locations in Central Otago to produce the amount of grapes needed to make their wine. 

In a somewhat surprising move, Tyra Banks has opened her own ice-creamery in Sydney. SMiZe & Dream was born out of a memory Tyra has of visiting an ice cream shop with her mother when she was a child. Now open in Darling Harbour, head over for a decadent scoop of ice cream, or try a ‘Smize Surprise’. 

Daniel Riccardo was one of our most beloved F1 drivers, but now he’s ventured into a new space with renowned wine brand St Hugo. Earlier this year, Daniel launched his DR3 wine series, with a takeover at Dan Murphy’s in Alexandria. As far as we know, this will be an ongoing partnership, so look out for the glitzy label next time you go to the bottleo!

Ed Sheeran has followed in many actors’ side hustles before him and created his own hot sauce. Tingly Teds officially launched in February 2023 and has since expanded into two different hot sauces, one spicy and one extra spicy! While it’s not available to buy and try in Australia, if you’re ever in the UK, give it a go.

Earlier in 2025, Pamela Anderson released a limited collection with Flamingo Estate of homemade pickles. Coming from a long line of family picklers, this was no surprise to Pam’s fans, especially those who have tuned into her lifestyle show, “Pamela’s Cooking With Love”. It might be a few hundred dollars to ship her jar of pickles to Australia, but it would probably taste amazing!

This list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Maggie Beer’s iconic gourmet food line. With pates, fizzing non-alcoholic sparkling and bespoke vinegars, there’s a whole lot to love about her food company. A charcuterie board at a dinner party wouldn’t be the same without her quince paste. 

Matt Moran is one of Australia’s best chefs- now you can cook just like him by using his ‘My Perfect Stock’ in your stews and soups. With vegetable, beef and chicken liquid stock available in Aussie supermarkets, you know you’ll have a good dinner with these as your base. 

As the winner of Season 2 of MasterChef Australia, Adam Liaw has been in the food biz for ages. But, it’s not yummy snacks or condiments he’s got a line of, he has tableware instead! With family eating in mind, his plates, bowls and serving platters are all dishwasher, oven and microwave safe. Made in collaboration with Noritake, this all-Australian range is ideal for eating in an Aussie home!

Finally, dessert would never be complete without making a box-mix brownies or cake from Donna Hay’s baking line. Look for the light blue coloured box-mixes in the baking aisle of your supermarket and give one a go!
