How Huda Kattan Built a Fortune
Forbes reported that TSG Consumer Partners bought a small minority stake in Huda Beauty in 2017 at a $1.2B valuation. That gives the model a genuine market transaction instead of a follower-based brand multiple.
The transaction valued the company, not Kattan personally, and the individual ownership split among founders was not disclosed.
Huda Beauty announced that Kattan had officially bought back the TSG equity and regained full control of the brand.
That confirms continued founder economics but still does not reveal Kattan’s personal percentage or a new enterprise valuation, so the range remains broad.

These are the businesses and organizations directly connected to the financial events above. We show only relationships supported by the cited sources, and we do not infer ownership percentages or values that the evidence does not establish.
Observed assets and financial anchors
A reported salary, company sale or brand valuation is not automatically current personal wealth. We show the pieces that can be tied to retained evidence and keep historical flows separate.
No major component is directly observable as a precise current valueThis estimate is built from source-backed financial anchors and explicitly modeled scenario ranges rather than pretending a private balance sheet is directly observable.
Context
Forbes reported TSG Consumer Partners acquired a small minority stake in Huda Beauty in 2017 at a $1.2B company valuation.
Sources[1]Current component
Huda Beauty announced in June 2025 that Kattan had officially bought back the TSG equity and regained full control of the brand.
Sources[3]Context
Forbes reported Kattan founded Huda Beauty after building her beauty audience online.
Sources[1]Scenario balance sheet
The estimate values Huda Kattan’s founder equity below the historical company transaction benchmark because her exact ownership percentage, current enterprise value and debt are private.

Modeled component
Modeled Huda Beauty founder equity
Forbes reported Huda Beauty was valued at $1.2B in the 2017 TSG transaction. Huda Beauty announced in June 2025 that Kattan had completed the TSG stake buyback and regained full control of the brand. Exact current enterprise value, debt and Huda Kattan’s individual percentage are not public, so the modeled equity stays below a simple application of the historical company valuation.
Sources[1][3]Modeled component
Modeled retained cash and other investments
Kattan has operated Huda Beauty for more than a decade and completed a private-equity buyback, but personal liquidity, taxes and other investment holdings are not disclosed. This component is deliberately secondary to the operating-company stake.

- Current tracked estimateBase case$400MBear to bull$250M to $600M
Initial Grizzly Bulls estimate published with Huda Beauty founder equity separated from other retained capital.
This is the first retained snapshot, so there is no earlier comparable Grizzly Bulls estimate to show yet.
What could move the estimate
- What percentage of Huda Beauty is currently owned by Huda Kattan personally?
- What is Huda Beauty’s current enterprise value, debt and normalized profitability after the KAYALI separation?
- What personal liquidity resulted from prior financing or other distributions?
