American businesswoman Jesseca Dupart, 41, is best known for founding and leading Kaleidoscope Hair Products. She started her million dollar firm from scratch and overcame many obstacles along the way, including personal setbacks. 

She has dabbled in reality TV shows, public speaking, book writing, and real estate management in addition to owning Kaleidoscope, establishing various sources of income.

As of February 2023, her net worth is estimated to be at $5 million.

Jessica Dupart’s profits as the creator and CEO of Kaleidoscope Hair Products account for the largest portion of her net worth. Dupart started out in poverty, and she began her career in cosmetology at RoJes Barber Shop & RoJes Beauty Salon as a hairstylist. She spent more than six years working there before deciding to leave and launch her own small business.

Dupart founded her own salon named Kaleidoscope Hair Studio in 2013 utilizing all of her life savings. Even when her products were generating six figures in revenue each month, Dupart still worked in her salon. However, soon after making her first million in 2017, she gave up her job as a hairdresser and concentrated on growing the market for her products.

Dupart had her first child at the age of 15. Daughter Deja Dupart is her firstborn child. When she was 17, she gave birth to her second child, a son named Jordan Chapuis. She gave birth to her third child, a son called Byron Jr., two years later.

“I had my kids at 15, 17, and 19, and I miscarried twins between 17 and 19,” she said in an interview with Beauty Independent. “I was going to a top-rated school at the time of my first pregnancy, and they had never had a pregnant student there.”

Rapper Da Brat and Dupart are married, and the happy LGBTQ+ couple exchanged vows in Georgia in February 2022.

The couple announced on Instagram a month before their wedding that they are expecting their first child together through IVF. Nonetheless, the couple admitted that they “had had some ups and some downs” on their quest to becoming parents while appearing on The Tamron Hall Show. Dupart was hospitalised due to the difficulty of the IVF procedure, but the couple noted that “they are still in the process” despite the difficulties.
