Ten Celebrities You Probably Knew Were Libertarians
Including a couple you might not consider libertarian
Robert Taylor at Policy Mic has a list of "9 Extremely Successful People You Never Knew Were Libertarians". Regular Reason readers should be familiar with all ten (yes, there are ten people on the list of nine people), though some may dispute whether everyone on the list is actually a libertarian.
