The daughter of fashion billionaire Ralph Lauren, Dylan Lauren runs Dylan's Candy Bar, a chain of upscale candy stores.

When Dylan was 16, her famous father asked her if he could use her first name for a new women's perfume he was planning. "I'm saving my name for something I own," she told her dad. Five years after graduating from Duke, she got her chance after she convinced her father to finance a candy store concept she'd come up with, inspired by her favorite film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In 2001, Lauren's 15,000-square-foot emporium of gummy bears, lollipops, and chocolates opened on Third Avenue and 60th Street, just a block from Bloomingdale's. She's since expanded to five locations across the U.S. [Image via Getty]
