Jessica Alba isn't just an actress. She's also a savvy business woman. It isn't widely known that she's also got a business on the side. A very successful one too.

Her company "The Honest Co." is going public, and it has already raised tens of millions of dollars. From WSJ:

In preparation for an IPO, Jessica Alba's The Honest Co., a maker of eco-friendly baby products, has raised $70 million at a valuation just shy of $1 billion and is beginning partnership talks to expand to China, Dow Jones VentureWire has learned.

"We believe being a public company is the best path for us going forward and it's good to get that validation early on," Honest Chief Executive and Co-founder Brian Lee said, noting that public-markets investor Wellington Management Company led the Series C round. "I can't say when that will be, but we are definitely starting to think and act like a public company."

Since launching in 2012 with its non-toxic diapers and other natural baby products, the California-based startup has grown quickly by blending its environmentally sensitive products with a social mission. Annual revenue is tracking to hit north of $150 million in 2014, or three times the revenue of 2013, according to Mr. Lee.

The Honest Co., which employs 275, previously raised $52 million.

Will Jessica continue to act after making the big bucks?
