Scott-Vincent Borba, a notable American entrepreneur and millionaire known in Hollywood, has chosen to abandon his wealth to pursue a religious life. This significant change in his life was covered by the British publication Independent.
The 52-year-old is a co-founder of the globally recognized cosmetic brand e.l.f.
Before amassing his wealth, Borba had a thriving career as a model and singer, eventually becoming a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, offering luxury treatments with diamonds and rubies valued at $7,000 to Hollywood stars.
He is also recognized for his appearances at numerous social events alongside well-known figures like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton.
In spite of his financial achievements and lavish lifestyle, Borba expressed that he gradually felt a profound sense of dissatisfaction. As a result, he decided to redirect his financial resources to charitable endeavors and embark on a journey of spiritual service.
Borba candidly admits that he once epitomized extravagance and lacked humility. Now, he has sold his properties and relocated to St. Patrick’s Theological Seminary in Menlo Park, California.
His formal ordination as a priest is set for May 23.
He states that he currently resides in a small, unfurnished room and has simplified his life to mere essentials, emphasizing that he has never experienced such happiness.
