Venture capitalists and corporates aren't the only ones funding new tech startups as they look to become the next Google or Facebook.
High net worth individuals and angel investors are also ploughing millions of dollars into new ideas in the hope that one day they'll become billion dollar businesses.
Many of those individuals happen to be famous, and analysts at research firm CB Insights have rounded up the 22 most active celebrity investors for a new list that was published Wednesday.
Approximately half of the individuals on the list hail from the music industry, while others have made a name for themselves in TV and movies, sports, or fashion. Those on the list have backed some big names including the likes of Spotify, Airbnb, Box, and Lyft.
In order to create the list, CB Insights looked at celebrity startup investment data going back to 2007.
