MARTHA STEWART

Before Martha Stewart became a famous personality with a business conglomerate that includes magazines, TV, and home products, she was a student at Columbia University with a double major degree in History and Architectural History. She later transferred from Nutley, New Jersey, to Westport, Connecticut, after she married Andrew Stewart to raise their family.

Stewart grew up in a 1,922-square-foot Dutch Colonial home in her native Nutley. The house was built in 1930, and it has a total of three bedrooms. She wrote in her blog that this place is where she and her five siblings were raised. She shared it was a place that she remembers fondly because just a few doors down was where her relatives also lived. Stewart’s family sold the home in 1987, but the entrepreneur said she continues to drive by her childhood home from time to time to reminisce about her youth.
