Huda Kattan — Billion-Dollar Beauty Blogger

Kattan started as a beauty blogger in Dubai posting makeup tutorials. Huda Beauty launched with false eyelashes in 2013 and has since grown to a $1.2 billion valuation after selling a minority stake to Investcorp. The brand generates over $200 million in annual revenue and is sold in 2,100+ Sephora locations worldwide. Kim Kardashian was an early fan who wore her lashes on Instagram. Forbes named her the richest beauty blogger in the world at $560 million net worth. An Iraqi-American woman in Dubai built a bigger beauty empire than most European fashion houses. That's the new world order.
