Netflix is well-known for its jaw-dropping documentaries, and their latest addition doesn't disappoint.The new documentary Martha traces the rise of America's first self-made female billionaire, Martha Stewart, with insights from the woman herself.

The 83-year-old businesswoman is often hailed as the country's 'original' influencer, leaving her Wall Street stockbroker job to build an empire that leveraged her image as a homemaker.Her entrepreneurial journey kicked off in the early seventies when she started her own catering company serving high-end clients.

Less than ten years later, she published her first cook book 'Entertaining', which was a massive hit and laid the foundation for her business to branch out into more books, a magazine, and a TV show, before consolidating everything under one brand - Martha Stewart Omnimedia.However, her empire came tumbling down when she was sentenced to five months in prison in 2004 over an insider trading scandal.

Despite this setback, she spent years rebuilding her reputation, with a little help from pop star Justin Bieber. Her relationship with the star began when she interviewed him for her magazine early in his career.
