The 81-year-old globally-known businesswoman, television personality, and now model was revealed to be on the issues' cover on Monday, May 15 by the iconic magazine. 

She is the oldest-ever Swimsuit Issue cover model, according to the magazine.

Since rising to fame in the 1980s, Stewart has created a media empire through her cookbooks, her magazine, "Martha Stewart Living," and numerous television shows, including "Martha Gardens," "Martha Cooks," and "Martha Holidays," which she currently hosts on Roku. 

In addition to her work, Stewart is also a mother and grandmother.
