Hailey Bieber’s Rhode beauty brand was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty in a deal worth up to $1 billion. This business documentary explains the Hailey Bieber Rhode deal, Rhode’s marketing strategy and why e.l.f. Beauty bought Rhode.
Just three years after launching Rhode, Hailey Bieber turned a minimalist skincare brand into one of the beauty industry’s fastest-growing businesses. The e.l.f. Beauty–Rhode acquisition included $600 million in cash, $200 million in e.l.f. Beauty stock and up to $200 million in additional earnout payments based on Rhode’s future growth.
Rhode generated $212 million in net sales during the twelve months ending March 2025. The acquisition valued the company at approximately 3.8 times its annual sales—but Rhode’s success was about more than celebrity influence.
In this video, we break down:
• How Hailey Bieber built Rhode into a viral beauty brand
• Rhode’s scarcity marketing and product-launch strategy
• The power of products such as Peptide Lip Treatment and Pocket Blush
• Why e.l.f. Beauty acquired Rhode for up to $1 billion
• How Sephora could accelerate Rhode’s global expansion
• What the deal means for the future of celebrity beauty brands
Hailey Bieber continues as Rhode’s Founder, Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation while serving as a strategic advisor to e.l.f. Beauty. Was this the ultimate celebrity-brand success story—or is Rhode’s biggest chapter only beginning?
