e.l.f Cosmetics co-founder is set to become a Catholic priest after abandoning his wealthy and luxurious life.

At the age of 42, Scott Vincent Borba gave up his fortune and entered the seminary.

Now at 52 years of age, Borba, a former actor, designer, model and singer, is set to be ordained on May 23 in Visalia by the Diocese of Fresno.

“We ran around with the likes of, Paris Hilton, and partying with Kardashians and just doing up the Hollywood life. I was a poster boy for luxury living. I was not in any which way humble. I was very prideful,” he said during an interview.

“I asked our Lord to help me be the man that he created me to be.”

“And upon that instance, I had this massive flood of love and mercy that came into my life. It was a very mystical experience.”

What an amazing story.
