Elf Have Acquired Hailey Bieber's Brand Rhode For $1 billion

Elf Have Acquired Hailey Bieber's Brand Rhode For $1 billion

Graziadaily29-05-2025
Yesterday, there was beauty news that broke the internet: e.l.f. Beauty is officially acquiring Hailey Bieber's beauty brand Rhode - via a jaw-dropping $1 billion deal. Yes, one billion. Within beauty circles there's long been whispers of Rhode's industry-shaking potential. Hailey's impressive influence as a tastemaker across skincare and make-up had catapulted Rhode into cult status practically overnight - it was only founded in 2022, after all. Our beauty writer, Sameeha Shaikh, has tried each and every Rhode product, and confirms it's a brand worth its salt - she swears by its efficacious formulas and Insta-feed-worthy packaging. And who could forget the lip balm phone case that reached viral status?
For beauty giant e.l.f. Beauty? The move to acquire Rhode makes perfect sense. e.l.f already owns Keys Soulcare and Naturium, and of course, their eponymous e.l.f. Cosmetics which is known for its affordability. The cultural clout of Rhode combined with e.l.f's impressive business acumen? A beauty match made in heaven.

Of the acquisition, Bieber took to Instagram to issue a statement:
'I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally. So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with e.l.f. Beauty as we step into this next chapter in the world of rhode. I found a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do and will help us continue to grow the brand. I feel invigorated, excited and more ready than ever to step into an even bigger role as Chief Creative Officer, and Head of Innovation of rhode as well as strategic advisor to e.l.f. Beauty. Thank you to the amazing rhode team who have helped me build over the years. I couldn't have done it without all of you. And to our rhode community, thank you for being the most supportive and for being on this journey, this next chapter is going to be even more incredible together!'
Bieber's plans to remain at the heart of Rhode are clear, with fellow make-up maven Gucci Westman among the first to share her congratulations. What's next for Rhode? Watch this space...
Has Rhode Been Sold To ELF?
Yes, on the 28th of May 2025 it was announced that e.l.f. had acquired Hailey Bieber's Rhode for 3 billion dollars.
Does Hailey Bieber still own Rhode?
While e.l.f now own Rhode, Hailey will take on the position of Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation.
Is Hailey Bieber the CEO of Rhode?
e.l.f. Beauty Chairman and CEO Tarang Amin is likely to be Rhode's official CEO now, while Hailey Bieber will continue as founder. She will also take on the position of Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation.

The 5 habits making you broke according to savings whizz who has £100k in the bank AND plans to retire at 40

Read on for more money-saving tips to get you started CASH IN The 5 habits making you broke according to savings whizz who has £100k in the bank AND plans to retire at 40 A YOUNG woman has shared five ways you're making yourself broke every month. Mia McGrath is just 24 but already has £100k in savings and plans to retire at 40. 2 Mia McGrath shared her top tips to stop wasting money Credit: tiktok/@miarosemcgrath 2 At 24, she already has £100,000 saved Credit: TikTok / @miarosemcgrath Thanks to her thrifty lifestyle, Mia is planning to stop working 26 years before her peers. The Londoner who works in fashion regularly shares how she achieves her saving goals, and this time, she shared the habits to give up if you want to start saving. "Trying to be cool or aesthetic is making you broke," Mia said in a TikTok video posted this week. She went on to say that buying a new outfit or a £38 Rhode phone case to look 'aesthetically pleasing' on Instagram was a waste of money. Mia admitted she used to do this before making a change. She said: "I realised I was doing it for other people, not for myself." The second mistake people make is following trends and fads that turn out to be very expensive. The savvy saver warned: "You don't need the latest trending item - a Labubu, a Coach bag. It's not essential." She added: "I guarantee if you waited 30 days to buy it, you wouldn't want it anymore." The third financial mistake Mia identified is 'not saving because you think it's pointless'. Paychecks set to change for millions of Americans as new July law starts – see if switch is happening in your state She argued that no matter how small the amount, it was always worth doing. "I guarantee, if it's £10, £50, no matter how small it is, you're probably not doing it because of that reason," she reminded viewers. Mia, who has accumulated 'almost £100,000 in savings and investments' in recent years, revealed that she also started small, even putting money aside when she was relying on a student maintenance grant. She continued: "I wouldn't have been able to do that if I had that mindset that saving £50 is pointless." Fourthly, Mia advocated for starting a side hustle, telling fellow TikTokers that they're 'not too busy' She said: "Stop using the excuse that you don't have enough time, you just don't want to enough." She insisted: "Whatever it is, creating content, creating a personal brand, making extra money - I've done all those things while at a nine to five job that I have to be in the office five days a week for." Mia added that, providing someone wants to improve their finances, they can - it just takes discipline. Finally, Mia warned that it's irresponsible to think a 'man is going to sweep in' and facilitate the 'soft life' that some people crave. Mia said: "There is so much bad advice on TikTok saying you need to appear in your "soft feminine energy" and go sit at a bar where a rich man will find you..." In a bid to do away with this myth, Mia said: 'You have to work hard and have your own money." Money saving challenges Here's some of our favourite money saving challenges.

But the disgraced star has now announced the news of his marriage in a series of Instagram posts. Bear wore a pink suit for the ceremony and posted to Instagram a photo of the couple, writing: "MY WEDDING . MR AND MRS BEAR." The Celebrity Big Brother winner could be seen in one video picking up his new bride, who donned a lacy white gown. He was also filmed singing Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off You as he spun Miami around on the dancefloor. It is not known exactly when the couple met. However, in January, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil with his new girlfriend, boasting: "The police can't catch me now." In a grim video shared from the beach, he bragged: "Life's good. I thought I'd come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all. "Stay true, because this year I'm fully active, I'm off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I'm in Brazil. "They can't catch me now. Catch me if you can."

"Now I can post on social media, that was the main condition, watch this space." Bear was caged for 21 months in March 2023 after being found guilty of voyeurism and sharing the explicit footage without consent. He was released from prison in January 2024 just 10 months into his sentence. Revealing his location and his girlfriend, Bear added in the video: 'I'm in Brazil, I don't know if you've heard. 'This is my 18-year-old Latina girlfriend, say hello baby. 'We just chilling, I got eight music videos I got to shoot while I'm in Brazil. Thinking of looking at some property while I'm over here.' Bear was ordered to pay her £27k on top of the £207,000 he was told to pay Georgia in a separate civil case after leaking the video on his OnlyFans page. The Sun later revealed he was trying to make ends meet by selling a range of tracksuits, which he bought from Temu for £11.95, and then embossed with the words 'Mexican Cartel'. Georgia has spoken openly in The Sun about the trauma caused by the incident, becoming an advocate for laws protecting victims of revenge porn. Self-proclaimed "billionaire" Bear previously claimed he was on Jobseeker's Allowance and could only afford to pay £10-a-week due to his financial struggles.

Hailey Bieber mercilessly mocked after debuting latest Rhode beauty accessory

Hailey Bieber 's Rhode Peptide Lip Tint was successful on its own. But when she came out with the Rhode Lip Case in February - a phone case with a built-in holder for the lip tint and other lip gloss - fans swarmed to buy it. It was innovative, smart and it cemented Hailey as not just another celebrity going into business without knowing what they were doing - she was a true beauty entrepreneur. But a new launch in the Rhode line may have damaged those accolades. Along with a new 'Lemontini' Peptide Lip Tint, Hailey debuted a Rhode Belly Chain - a waist chain meant to hold her lip tints - on her Instagram feed. The chain was shown in a series of promotional photos of Hailey that included the starlet in a black tube top and matching shorts. Hailey, 28, captioned the photo dump 'lemontini ballerini' followed by a lemon emoji and martini emoji. But aside from the lip tint itself, fans focused their attention on the 'belly chain.' Waist beads have origins in ancient Egypt and West Africa, while waist chains can be traced to the Indian subcontinent. Many people, knowing this, claimed that Hailey's new product was a form of cultural appropriation. Even aside from that, fans criticized the Rhode belly chain for being an unnecessary (and impractical) cash grab - and made less than complimentary comparisons. 'This and the phone case are stupid as f**k to be honest, at this point she's just trying to sell SUPER unnecessary things, consumerism at its max,' one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote. 'Why would any woman want to wear there lip tint around the waist like that?' another asked. 'The phone case was cute but she's milking this concept now,' one fan wrote. 'It looks like a tampon holder,' shared another. 'Celebrities are crazy. This is the most unnecessary thing ever,' added a fourth. An hour after Hailey posted on her own personal Instagram, the official Rhode account posted a picture of the new lip tint with a caption explaining that the Lemontini Peptide Lip Tint would be the first with a new and improved formula. 'It was so important that we resolve the grainy feel that developed in some lip treats and tints over time,' the caption said. 'We took our time over the past two years by researching, experimenting, and testing to find a solution.' 'Our biggest upgrade was switching the Shea butter from a solid to a liquid form, ensuring it glides on smoothly and maintains a consistently even texture. 'Feels just like the original, with the same skincare benefits and a little more cushion and richness for a comfy application.' The new color featured a $2 price increase from the company's usual price of $18.
