She already has a line of Skinnygirl alcohol.

And now Bethenny Frankel plans of creating a line of Skinnygirl marijuana, according to a Wednesday report from UsWeekly.
'It will be a specifically engineered strain of pot designed not to give you the munchies,' a source told the magazine.
That same day the Bravo darling was seen with her daughter Bryn, aged four, in New York City.
The 44-year-old star was wearing tight jeans, a large scarf, a beige jacket, and brown platform boots.
A large purple Chanel purse hung from her shoulder and she carried with her a bottle of Skinnygirl Sparkler.
Her hair and makeup was expertly done suggesting she was at a photo shoot or TV taping earlier.
Her blonde daughter carried with her a baby doll, a beige and brown blankie and a pink Disney Princess backpack.
It was claimed the Real Housewives Of New York City star would sell the marijuana product in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington where recreational cannabis is legal.
'She read about how profitable the cannabis industry is,' added the source.
During a Christmas holiday in Aspen, Colorado, the brunette New Yorker 'sniffed out the competition by touring dispensaries,' it was alleged.
The former talk show host already runs a $25m empire consisting of alcohol like vodka and snack bars.
In 2013 she talked to Entertainment Weekly about how it all began.
'It evolved. [Skinny margaritas] was what I thought was a great idea, and after I made it popular, bartenders were telling me it was the most popular drink ordered. No one monetized it, and I wanted to make it myself so everybody could have access to it.
'And I wanted there to be consistency in the recipe, and I decided to do it myself. I went to all the big companies and none of them wanted to do it. They didn’t think it was a good idea; they didn’t think it would work.
'I found a partner to do it and we made it happen ourselves. It’s not an easy task, launching a liquor brand. It is a very hard thing to do.'
When not running her business and making her TV shows, Frankel takes care of her daughter Bryn. She has also been trying to settle with her ex.
A friend told UsWeekly that Bethenny is struggling over her estranged husband Jason Hoppy, also 44, who has still not finalized their split.
'He turned down a $3m settlement offer,' said a pal. 'He wants more. Their divorce has gotten nasty.'
