Timeline and list of Farrah Abraham’s many business ventures over the years
Former Teen Mom OG star Farrah Abraham has way more than her fair share of detractors. But even her detractors will have to admit that Farrah is quite the hustler when it comes to making that dollar!
Since Farrah made her MTV debut on 16 and Pregnant more than a decade ago, she has put together an extensive résumé that includes opening three brick-and-mortar stores, appearing on more than six different reality shows, publishing five books, dancing at a strip club in Austin, Texas for five months, and — of course — giving adult film star James Deen a key to her backdoor while the cameras were rolling.
Starcasm has been documenting Farrah’s entrepreneurial endeavors from day one, dating all the way back to her motorcycle calendar modeling gig back in 2011. We were the first to report on that, and the story quickly took off as we garnered links from such high-profile celebrity sites as Perez Hilton. Since then, we have covered Farrah’s endeavors quite extensively.
So, I thought that it would be fun to compile a timeline of Farrah’s numerous Teen Momtrepreneurial projects over the past ten years. As it turns out, I was completely wrong about the fun part. The list is CRAZY long! And I’m sure it is still missing numerous money-making ventures that managed to slip through the Starcasm cracks.
Before I start the list, I wanted to state that there are some things that are just too numerous to include here. For instance, I didn’t even try to chronicle Farrah’s many paid endorsements on social media or elsewhere. We did include one instance when Farrah made headlines by including Sophia in a Flat Tummy Tea promo photo, but, otherwise, those sorts of things will have to be their own list. For similar reasons, I left clickbait partnerships as well.
Farrah often brings along a professional photographer for paparazzi-style photos of herself (and Sophia) while she is out and about. I made one mention of the first time I could recall one of these types of shoots, back when Farrah was living in Florida in 2011.
I also didn’t include some of Farrah’s earliest jobs. I believe she had a job as a cashier at a local grocery store in high school? And I seem to recall her working at an Italian restaurant/pizza parlor on the first season of Teen Mom?
On with the list!

(It’s worth the click just to see Farrah with MUCH smaller breasts after her first boob job.)
