The co-founder of e.l.f. Cosmetics has stunned social media after walking away from his multimillion-dollar lifestyle to pursue life as a Catholic priest.
Scott-Vincent Borba, once known for his connections to Hollywood celebrities and the luxury beauty industry, is preparing to be ordained as a priest in California later this month, according to the New York Post.
Borba previously lived among celebrity circles that included Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian while helping build one of the most recognizable cosmetic brands in the United States.
But after years of success, expensive homes, luxury cars, and high-profile events, Borba says he experienced deep emotional exhaustion and realized he was no longer happy.
That moment led him toward faith.
According to Borba, he donated his wealth to charity, left behind his former lifestyle, and entered seminary training. Today, he lives in a small room at Saint Patrick’s Seminary and University with only basic belongings as he prepares for priesthood.
The former beauty entrepreneur says the dramatic life change has brought him more peace and happiness than he ever experienced during his years in the spotlight.
His story is now drawing attention online as many people react to the rare transformation from Hollywood luxury to religious devotion.
