We have all heard of Avon and might have even owned a product or two from the brand because they are affordable, and it seemed like they were available everywhere. In 2005, Avon switched over to the MLM structure and is the second-largest MLM company with over 6.5 million representatives around the world, per Travelling Jezebel. Typically, you don't see a lot of mainstream celebrities representing many MLM companies. Still, in 2007, Avon Foundation chose Reese Witherspoon as their honorary chairperson to spearhead the brand's charity work (via Elle). The "Walk The Line" actress even came out with her own affordable perfume called In Bloom with Avon in 2009, but it's no longer available on their website and Witherspoon is no longer associated with the company (via Fragrantica).

Do you really make money as an Avon representative, though? In 2015, Avon made their annual report available to the public, and it showed that the average Avon representative at the time made less than $135 a month, not including profit as many MLM companies require joining fees (via The Finance Guy). And that is not a lot of money.

With so many MLM companies popping up around us, it is hard to trust whether they're legitimate or not. If we had to pick one that is well-known and has lasted, it would be Avon. Plus, they offer the option to shop online, which others may not. We aren't too keen to become a representative, though.
