Justin Timberlake Business

Justin Timberlake he has co-owned 3 restaurants in the U.S.: "Chi" opened in West Hollywood, California in 2003, and "Destino" and "Southern Hospitalty" in New York opened in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Justin Timberlake also has his own brand of tequila called 901; the name comes in part from the area code of his hometown of Memphis.

In 2005, he launched the William Rast clothing line with childhood friend Juan ("Trace") Ayala. The 2007 line contained cord jackets, cashmere sweaters, jeans and polo shirts. The pair reports inspiration from fellow Memphis native Elvis Presley: "Elvis is the perfect mixture of Justin and I," Ayala says. "You can go back and see pictures of him in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and a nice button-down shirt, but then again you can see him in a tux and a collared shirt with rhinestones on it and slacks. We like to think 'If he was alive today, what would he be wearing?'"

On November 12, 2007, the PGA Tour announced that Justin Timberlake, an avid golfer who plays to a 6 handicap, would become the host of the tour's Las Vegas tournament starting in 2008. With his agreement to host the tournament, its name was changed to the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Justin Timberlake'll play in the celebrity pro-am on the day before the competitive tournament and host a charity concert during the week of the tournament.
