Hailey Bieber's $1 Billion Deal. Plus: How To Cut Small Talk From Work Meetings
This is this week's ForbesWomen newsletter, which every Thursday brings news about the world's top female entrepreneurs, leaders and investors straight to your inbox. Click here to get on the newsletter list! We begin this week with big news out of the beauty world: Yesterday afternoon, the publicly traded e.l.f. Beauty announced that it is acquiring Hailey Bieber's skincare and makeup company Rhode for as much as $1 billion. The deal marks one of the largest celebrity beauty acquisitions in recent years. Bieber launched Rhode in 2022 to near instant virality (as she told me that fall, there was a waitlist of 700,000 people for the company's three products). According to the e.l.f announcement Wednesday, Rhode's net sales in the year ending March 2025 hit $212 million. Bieber, whose spokesperson declined to comment on the size of her stake in the business, will remain involved in operations as chief creative officer and head of innovation. 'You don't know what to expect when it's out in the world and in people's hands,' Bieber told me in 2022. 'Did I have hopes? For sure, but this has far exceeded my hopes and expectations. I don't know how else to say it except that it just feels so crazy.' Cheers! Maggie Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Indian billionaire entrepreneur and founder of Biocon Limited (biotechnology ...

'I call myself an accidental entrepreneur,' she says. This week marked the release of the 24th annual Midas List, Forbes' ranking of the world's top venture capitalists. Unfortunately, there are just 10 women on this list of 100 people, a statistic that reflects the overall poor representation of women among the world's most powerful check writers. Getting an MBA tends to boost earnings significantly for both women and men, but it's not helping to close the gender pay gap, new research shows. A survey of more than 1,000 graduates from elite MBA programs across the U.S., Europe and Canada, found that in the first post-MBA job, women's salaries, on average, rose 52% to $131,449 from their last pre-MBA role. Men's, meanwhile, surged 73% to $140,007. In proof that a moment of forgetfulness doesn't have to derail a whole day—or in this case, match—Coco Gauff forgot her tennis rackets when she walked onto the court for her first-round match at the French Open on Tuesday. Still, the No. 2 seed got them in time to dispatch Olivia Gadecki of Australia, 6-2, 6-2, to improve to 6-0 in first-round matches in Paris. Elon Musk might be ending his time as a 'special government employee,' but the effects of his DOGE cuts will far outlast his current tenure, especially when it comes to biomedical research and funding cuts at the NIH. Michelle Heritage, Executive Director of the American Brain Foundation, recently spoke to Forbes about how Musk's cuts will 'put the brakes' on cutting edge treatment innovations for brain disease—and this could disproportionately affect women, who suffer from higher rates of Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative disease. 'There isn't an ability for the private sector or private donors to fill those gaps,' Heritage said. 1. Implement some fact-checking at your organization. Fact-checking isn't just for journalism! If you publish knowledge-based content in service of your company's strategy, influence or authority, it's important to think about information integrity. 2. If you're exhausted, look at your inner monologue. The stories we tell ourselves matter. They either fuel us or drain us. Are you filling your own head with doubt, insecurity, and cynicism? Things like, 'What's the point?' or 'This is never going to work'? This type of fixed mindset thinking becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. 3. Skip the small talk. If you want to show your team empathy without wasting time, set the tone in meetings by omitting a recitation of weekend activities and instead say something like, 'Let's jump in. I know we're tight on time.' Here's how else you can strike the right balance between efficiency and empathy. A world leader said he and his wife were 'squabbling and joking around' after a video showed her apparently shoving him in the face before departing an airplane. Which couple was it?

Ivanka Trump's makeup essentials: her go-to beauty products - and one of them is an iconic $16 lip balm
If you've ever wondered how exactly Ivanka Trump achieves her glowing, fresh-faced look, wonder no more. She's not gatekeeping her favorites — or, at the very least, she's subtly spilling the details on a handful of them. On a recent appearance on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast, Ivanka opened up about her minimalist approach to beauty, saying she prefers to 'focus on skincare rather than makeup.' While some might expect an ultra-exclusive, inaccessible routine, it turns out some of her top picks are precisely the opposite. Read on to discover the three staples that she swears by, including an iconic lip balm and a classic coverup. Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Concealer 'I have been using this makeup product from Estée Lauder since I was like 14 years old,' Ivanka shared. 'It's a concealer… it's called Maximum Coverage.' She says she doesn't love heavy foundation. Instead, Ivanka prefers to dab this full-coverage formula under her eyes. The generously sized tube has serious staying power. She even jokes that she's only gone through about three bottles since her teen years. It's a longtime favorite for a reason: It's breathable, buildable, waterproof, and long-wearing. $55 Shop Glossier Balm Dotcom As someone who has admitted she is 'addicted to lip moisturizer,' it's understandable that Ivanka swears by Glossier's beloved Balm Dotcom. 'Wherever I go, on my bedside table, there's a lip moisturizer,' she confesses. Her top pick? The original Balm Dotcom, though she admits she's still hunting down the formula that existed before the brand changed the formula. With its soft tint, nourishing ingredients, and fun selection, this balm is a massive cult staple. $16 Shop Gente The Lymphatic Drainage Effect Ivanka reaches for Gente's The Lymphatic Drainage Effect for top-tier body care. The Brazilian-formulated moisturizer was developed by a friend of hers. 'It is so good and it smells so delicious,' she raved, calling it 'amazing' and 'beautiful.' The luxe cream is said to boost circulation and leave skin looking smoother and feeling more toned. If you're looking to level up your beauty routine in any way, this nourishing, tightening cream powered by caffeine could easily become your go-to, too. $34 Shop

The Summer Beauty Trends Worth Your Money—and the Ones to Skip
June is to beauty routines what March is to basketball: It's prime time, baby. 'Summer brings a flood of new products as brands tap in to seasonal spending,' said Marina Peredo, a dermatologist in New York. This time of year, knowing which, if any, of the vaunted beauty aids to actually buy can feel like trying to book a last-minute Disney vacation. Overwhelming. 'Smart shopping helps you avoid gimmicks and save money—not everything is worth the hype.' For advice on what is worth it—and what's best left on the shelf—read on. Those status gel manicures that last a whole pay cycle (and put a dent in one too)? Turns out they're not all that great for your nail health. It's the removal process—not the application—that damages nails. 'Prolonged acetone soaks will dehydrate the nail and cuticle, making the nail more prone to brittleness, peeling and breakage,' said Dana Stern, a New York dermatologist.

World Business Report Rhode's beauty blockbuster deal
e.l.f. Beauty acquires Hailey Bieber's Rhode in a massive $1bn deal. e.l.f. CEO Tarang Amin joins David Harper to discuss the landmark acquisition and their hopes for the brand's future. Elsewhere, despite Western sanctions, BBC analysis shows that Russia continues to receive billions of dollars from oil exports. New research suggests that live-streaming piracy could be costing European sports rights holders $28bn. And in Nigeria, the government is cracking down on the spraying of money at parties, which they say is devaluing the currency.
