🔥 Stephen Baldwin BREAKS SILENCE on Hailey’s Billion-Dollar Beauty Empire – You Won’t Believe His Reaction 💄💵

Hailey Bieber has spent the last two years quietly building Rhode from a buzzworthy celebrity skincare brand into a full-blown beauty juggernaut.

With sell-out product launches, viral campaigns, and a cult-like fan base hanging onto every drop of her “glazing milk,” it was only a matter of time before the big money came knocking.

That time is now.

According to reports, Rhode has closed a deal with a major conglomerate rumored to be worth over $1 billion, officially placing Hailey Bieber in the ultra-exclusive “young billionaire” club—without riding the coattails of her last name or her pop-star husband.

While the beauty world celebrated, many turned their attention to her famously outspoken father, Stephen Baldwin, to see how he’d respond.

His reaction? Let’s just say it wasn’t what anyone expected.

In an impromptu sidewalk interview caught on camera by a TMZ reporter, Stephen Baldwin appeared both proud and slightly overwhelmed.

“She did what I couldn’t,” he said with a forced chuckle.

“She’s built something that’s not just successful—it’s iconic.

I mean, a billion dollars? That’s more than all my movies combined, times ten.

While the comment came off as tongue-in-cheek, some fans detected a subtle undercurrent of envy.

And that’s not surprising.

Stephen Baldwin, once a rising star in the 1990s, saw his acting career fade into the background while his brothers—particularly Alec—remained in the Hollywood spotlight.

More recently, Stephen has been better known for his conservative political views and social media outbursts than any blockbuster success.

But when asked whether he was genuinely proud of Hailey, he got more serious.

“Of course I am.

She’s worked hard.

People think she just got lucky because of Justin or the name—but that girl is smart.

Strategic.

Disciplined.

And more grounded than I ever was at that age.

He also acknowledged the irony that while he once dreamed of becoming a household name, it’s now his daughter who’s become a global icon.

“It’s wild to see your kid on Vogue covers and Forbes lists,” he said.

“Especially when the last time people Googled me was… probably 2009.

”

Still, not everyone is buying the supportive act.

Some fans pointed out Stephen’s past comments about Hailey and Justin’s marriage, where he often inserted himself in interviews and was accused of “clout-chasing” on their fame.

Others remember when he made headlines for publicly pressuring them to adopt more religious values, often stirring backlash in the process.

So for him to now praise Hailey’s business acumen—after years of unpredictable media moments—has left the internet side-eyeing.

One user tweeted: “Stephen Baldwin saying ‘she did what I couldn’t’ isn’t pride.

That’s passive-aggressive jealousy wrapped in fake humility.

”

Another wrote: “Hailey succeeded because she kept her parents out of her brand.

Rhode is her creation, not a Baldwin family production.

Others, however, defended the actor.

“He’s clearly proud,” one fan commented.

“Maybe he didn’t say it perfectly, but the love’s there.

And let’s be honest—most dads would be stunned too if their daughter just built a billion-dollar empire.

”

Meanwhile, Hailey herself has stayed focused on the brand.

In a brief statement shared via Rhode’s official page, she said: “This is just the beginning.

Thank you for believing in Rhode and everything it stands for—simplicity, authenticity, and taking care of your skin and yourself.

”

No mention of dad.

No mention of Justin.

Just business.

Industry experts say the deal marks a major power shift in the celebrity beauty space.

With Rhode now valued in the billions, Hailey joins the ranks of Rihanna and Kylie Jenner—but with a reputation for keeping her brand real and refreshingly drama-free.

“She’s mastered the balance,” said one market analyst.

“Celebrity enough to sell, but lowkey enough to be trusted.

That’s rare—and billion-dollar rare at that.

”

As for Stephen Baldwin, love him or loathe him, one thing is certain: he’s now the father of a beauty mogul.

And whether he’s feeling proud, nostalgic, or just plain eclipsed, he better get used to it.

Because Hailey isn’t just winning—she’s dominating.
