Over the next 25 years, Barbara would parlay that $1,000 loan into a $5 billion real estate business, building the largest and best-known brand in the business.

DEBBIE GIBSON - For 30 years, Debbie Gibson has proven she's an entertainer of immeasurable talent. From singer, songwriter and musician to actress and dancer, she embodies what it truly means to be an entertainer. A music prodigy, Gibson exploded on the Billboard Pop Charts at the tender age of 16 with the self-penned "Only in My Dreams." The "Original Pop Princess" quickly became the youngest artist ever to write, produce and perform a No. 1 hit song, "Foolish Beat," and entered the Guinness Book of World Records. To date, she is still the youngest female to hold that record. She has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide, performed for British Royalty and hosted "The American Music Awards," produced by friend and legend Dick Clark. After conquering the pop world with three consecutive albums and world tours, she set her sights on the theater and starred in 17 musicals in 17 years. Gibson made her mark in the Broadway production of "Les Miserables" as Eponine. She broke box office records in the London West End production of "Grease" as Sandy. She then took the stage in the U.S. Broadway tours of "Grease" as Rizzo and "Funny Girl" as Fanny Brice. She also wowed critics as Belle in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," Gypsy Rose Lee in "Gypsy," Cinderella in the national production of "Cinderella," with Eartha Kitt, Velma Kelly in "Chicago," and Sally Bowles in the Broadway revival of "Cabaret," with Neil Patrick Harris. Gibson bridged the gap between pop music and Broadway with her one-woman show, "Pop Goes Broadway." She currently has two original Broadway musicals in the works, one with Jimmy Van Patten entitled "Flunkytown" and the other entitled "Skirts" as composer and lyricist with Hilary Carlip and Katie Ford. To fill her passion of mentoring and fostering young performers and songwriters, she also created Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth, a series of performing arts camps and music boot camps. Gibson made her debut in the world of orchestration for Dr. Rutledge's documentary "3 Billion and Counting," about Malaria prevention in third world countries. She collaborated on the score and the powerful closing credits song, "Rise," which was shortlisted for an Academy Award nomination. She also composed two original songs for "Cirque Dreams Symphony," which toured the U.S. In 2012 Gibson raised more than $50,000 for Children International on "The Celebrity Apprentice" and made a cameo in the film "Rock of Ages." In 2011 she starred with Tiffany in the SyFy hit "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid," which led to a joint sold out tour as well as a performance on GMA's Summer Concert Series. She also appeared in Katy Perry's hit music video for "Last Friday Night (TGIF)." In 2014 she starred as a celebrity judge on ABC's "Sing Your Face Off," and joined an esteemed list of musical performers as a 2014 inductee of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. She starred in the 2015 original movie "The Music in Me," featuring a new, original song, "Promises." She wrote a new song, "Angel," for the debut album of Nickelodeon star Isabela Moner, co-wrote and is featured on Big Black Delta's electro-pop song "RCVR," and was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from Rockers on Broadway in 2015. In 2016 Gibson created, executive produced and starred in Hallmark Channel's "Summer of Dreams," which featured her new, original song, "Wonderland," and a new acoustic version of her self-penned debut, hit single, "Only in My Dreams."

DEREK FISHER - Derek Fisher spent his entire pre-NBA life in Little Rock, Arkansas. His work ethic and determination were evident even from a young age, but basketball was always what drove him.

A New York Times bestselling author and one of People's "Sexiest Men Alive," Scott is also a bona fide social media influencer with over three million followers across his social platforms.

By 18, they were buying and flipping homes, and by their mid-20s they had a thriving real estate, design and renovation business with hundreds of clients. Scott's love of acting began during elementary school. He then started doing improv, sketch and standup comedy while in high school. Later, he booked roles in popular TV series such as "Smallville" and "Breaker High." Eventually, he and Jonathan were approached to host a home renovation show called "My Dream Home," which later became "Property Brothers." In addition to his television and social media success, Scott is one half of a rising global lifestyle brand, which includes multiple extensions into music, media and retail. He and Jonathan established "Scott Brothers Entertainment," which produces award winning and engaging content in all genres for TV, film and digital platforms. The brothers expanded their brand with the creation of "Scott Living," a designer collection of indoor and outdoor furniture, décor and bedding. In 2015 the Scott brothers wrote and recorded two original tracks, "Hold On" and "Let the Night Shine In," with music producers Victoria Shaw and Chad Carlson. "Hold On" hit the Billboard Hot Country charts within the first month of its release. In January 2017 they put their own country spin on Flo Rida's wildly popular single "My House" with 100% of the single's proceeds being donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

JORDAN FISHER - 2016 was a breakout year for multi-talented artist Jordan Fisher, whose talent clearly knows no boundaries, from TV to music to film and, most recently, Broadway. In January, Fisher's take as Doody in FOX's Emmy-winning broadcast of "Grease: LIVE" earned him critical acclaim and was deemed the show's breakout star by MTV and People Magazine. That spring, he released his first single, "All About Us," which was produced by Oak Felder (Alessia Cara, Arianna Grande, Rihanna) and melded influences of pop/soul/R&B. The song was the #2 most added song and a top 30 hit at pop radio. In August, Fisher released his self-titled EP, which debuted #18 on the Billboard Heatseeker album chart. After performing on The Today Show, the ESPY's Red Carpet Special and opening for Alicia Keys at the Apple Music Festival, Fisher was tagged to perform the end title credit to Disney's hit animated feature film "Moana" with award winning songwriter/producer Lin-Manual Miranda. Fisher, who has been called out by Miranda as "super-talented," saw a lifelong dream of performing on Broadway come to fruition when he joined the cast of Miranda's uber-hit "Hamilton," where he took on the dual roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton. When ABC was curating the music for "When We Rise," an eight-hour miniseries event with music guiding the four and a half decade storyline, they looked no further than Fisher to cover the 70's classic, "I'd Love to Change the World." The song opened the two-hour premiere, directed by Gus Van Sant. The underlying thread to all Fisher's success across the board is music. He's not just a multi-talented performer but also a storyteller. His influences are diverse and can be traced back to his days growing up in a football town outside of Birmingham, Alabama, where he cultivated his tastes by listening to everything from Luther Vandross to Metallica while simultaneous developing his acting skills at the Birmingham-based Red Mountain Theatre Company. With a bright future in front of him, 2017 is sure to be another banner year as Fisher readies his debut full-length album. This fall he will release his new single "MESS" with Hollywood Records.

NIKKI BELLA - If there's a barrier to be broken or an accolade to be earned, Nikki Bella has done it, and done it with style. Bella is a philanthropist, empowered woman, executive producer, YouTuber, motivational speaker and longest reigning Divas Champion. A self-admitted 'tomboy' with a feminine side, Bella originally planned to play professional soccer until a leg injury ended her career. From there, she followed her twin sister Brie's lead into WWE. Unsuccessful in seizing spots in the 2006 WWE Raw Diva Search, The Bellas caught the eyes of execs and soon landed in FCW. Training for the competition they'd soon crush, she and her sibling made their way onto the main roster in 2008 and turned heads whenever they set foot inside the ring. But don't be fooled - Bella is more than just a pretty face. With a dash of 'twin magic,' she and her sister stirred up WWE, culminating with a Divas title reign apiece in 2011 and 2012. But after a brief sabbatical from WWE, the sisters began an astonishing reinvention, with Nikki cementing herself as the division's mean-girl powerhouse and earning a Divas title reign that lasted a record-setting 301 days. Now, as a pivotal member of the SmackDown LIVE roster, Bella continues to test the limits of competition in a complete and totally fearless fashion. Bella is the star of E!'s hit reality shows "Total Bellas" and "Total Divas." She and Brie are continuing to grow their brand with their birdie bee apparel line and Belle Radici wine.

SASHA PIETERSE - Film and television star Sasha Pieterse is best known for her lead role on Freeform's "Pretty Little Liars," which wrapped its seventh and final season earlier this year. Despite being only 12 years old when she landed the role on what would go on to become one of the network's most popular and successful shows, she held her own as the youngest regular cast member with already years of professional experience beneath her belt. The Johannesburg native immigrated to America with her family for greater opportunities. The daughter of professional acrobatic dancers, Pieterse became accustomed to the rigors of a career in entertainment at an early age. When she was just four and a half years old, she met with a Los Angeles agent who quickly signed her, and she has been acting and modeling ever since. Pieterse got her start in television in 2002 at the age of six, starring in the WB comedy series "Family Affair," a remake of the late 1960s hit, as Buffy, opposite Gary Cole. She was awarded with a Young Artist's Award for her work on the series. She appeared in the hit series "Heroes" and guest starred in "House M.D." She also starred in the telefilm "Claire," opposite Valerie Bertinelli, and appeared in the Disney Channel Original Movie, "Geek Charming." Pieterse's first major film role was as the Ice Princess in Robert Rodriguez's "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl 3D," with Taylor Lautner and George Lopez. In 2007 she starred in "The Air I Breathe," alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar. She also appeared in "Good Luck Chuck," "X-Men: First Class" and the critically acclaimed film "Inherent Vice," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring opposite Reese Witherspoon, Joaquin Phoenix and Martin Short. In addition to her successful acting career, Pieterse has launched her singing career releasing four singles with co-writer and producer, Dan Franklin.

TERRELL OWENS - Philanthropist, entrepreneur, fitness expert, model, motivational speaker, humanitarian, loving father and the NFL's 6-Time Pro Bowler, Terrell Eldorado Owens is a man on a mission. His extraordinary skills on the gridiron and elite athleticism raised the bar for Wide Receivers in the league. Owens is credited with being one of the most exciting and electrifying players to ever play the game, with 1078 Receptions, 15,935 yards and 153 touchdowns during the span of his 15 year career. Owens was born in Alexander City, AL, where he attended Benjamin Russell High School. There he excelled in several sports including football, basketball, baseball and track. After being recruited by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC), Owens made a name for himself as an explosive receiver, earning first team All-Southern Conference honors and setting a school record for catching a pass 11 consecutive games. Owens was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 1996 NFL draft, spending eight seasons with the team. He made his mark in the league by amassing a highlight reel of spectacular plays and performances. This includes a game-winning touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in a 1998 wild-card playoff games that was dubbed "The Catch II"; a record breaking day of December 17, 2000 when he surpassed the 50 year old mark for the single-game reception total; and his role in leading the 49ers to the second greatest comeback in NFL playoff history, which occurred against the New York Giants in 2002. In 2004 Owens joined the Philadelphia Eagles, making an immediate impact on the team, averaging one touchdown per game. This helped the Eagles to win 13 of its first 14 games, paving the way to Super Bowl XXXIX. Despite a late season injury that doctors had projected would take weeks to heal, Owens started the game and had nine receptions and 122 yards in a disappointing loss to the New England Patriots. Owens went on to play for the Dallas Cowboys, embarking on another storied legacy. In his first season with the team, he led the league with 13 regular season touchdowns, and this despite a serious tendon injury to his finger. While doctors recommended season ending surgery, Owens elected to wait until the end of the season to repair the damage. In 2007 he set a Dallas Cowboys record with 15 touchdown receptions and helped lead the team to the NFC East divisional title for the first time since 1988. He also amassed 69 catches for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns in his last season for the Dallas Cowboys. Owens entered his 14th NFL season with the Buffalo Bills. It was in this season that he became only the sixth player to record 1,000 career catches. He also added stints with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Seattle Seahawks to his resume. Owens has garnered countless awards and accolades for his work on and off the field, including six Pro Bowl appearances, five-time Associated Press All-Pro, Recorded Five Seasons with 13 or more touchdowns, and the first to score a touchdown in seven straight "Monday Night Football" games. On September 15, 2008 in yet another remarkable Monday Night Game, Owens moved into second place on the NFL's all-time career touchdown list. Owens' work on the field is only mirrored by his accomplishments off the field, including partnering with the Alzheimer's Association, which is near and dear to his heart. His beloved grandmother Alice succumbed to the disease three years ago. He also testified before Congress to raise awareness about the disease. Owens is also a respected and best-selling author, penning a children's book, "Little T Learns to Share," and a fitness book, "T.O.'s Finding Fitness." His latest endeavor, the "What TO Do" Global Campaign, is an initiative aimed at empowering and motivating youth around the world through speaking, workshops and with the launch of an inspirational clothing line for men, women and children.

VICTORIA ARLEN - Face it. Embrace it. Defy it. Conquer it. These are the words that ESPN TV personality, Paralympic Gold Medalist and World Record Holder Victoria Arlen lives by every day. At the young age of 11, the lifelong swimmer and athlete fell ill with Transverse Myelitis, a rare viral disease that left her in a four-year long coma and without use of her legs for nearly 10 years. Unbeknownst to those around her at the time, Arlen could hear the conversations going on in her hospital room while she was in the coma as doctors expressed losing hope for any sort of improvement in her condition. However, with unwavering support from her family, her health improved tremendously. In June of 2010, Arlen, determined to reach her childhood dream of competing in the Olympic Games, returned to the pool for the first time in years. In the spring of 2012, not only did she participate in four events at the London Paralympic Games, but she also took home one Gold and three Silver medals while also setting a world record in in the 100-meter free. Following her successful and inspirational recovery, Arlen has since become an on-air TV personality with ESPN. She has reported for numerous sports programs, including X-Games, Invictus Games, The ESPY Awards, Special Olympics World Games and SportsCenter. Her dedication, charisma, and inspirational story has not gone unnoticed. Once in the public eye after the 2012 Paralympic Games, the 21-year-old came to symbolize a beacon of hope for many. Since then, she has presented as the keynote speaker at many functions, including for TEDx and several Fortune 500s, like Disney, Pfizer and Liberty, sharing her remarkable story across the country.
