Abstract: Martha Stewart, the businesswoman who turned the art of 'home making and keeping' into a billion dollar business called 'Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia', has been one of the most recognised 'brand CEOs' in the US. But, her conviction in a scandal in early 2004, called for rethinking of certain basic notions in the free-market economies, corporate ethics, government regulation, and more importantly, the perils and promises of personal branding.
