Huda Kattan — Billion-Dollar Beauty Blogger

Huda Kattan's beauty empire now outpaces many A-list actors' earnings, with Huda Beauty valued at $1.2 billion after a minority stake sale to Investcorp. The brand generates over $200 million in annual revenue across 2,100+ Sephora locations globally, far surpassing the typical actor's licensing or endorsement income. An early endorsement from Kim Kardashian boosted her profile, but Kattan's net worth of $560 million—per Forbes—puts her ahead of #2 Charli D'Amelio's estimated annual earnings. An Iraqi-American woman in Dubai built a beauty brand that rivals European fashion houses in value, proving influencer enterprise can eclipse traditional Hollywood wealth.
