Notes

Sporty & Rich is a fascinating case study — a genuine internet-native brand built almost entirely on aesthetic and lifestyle. **Origins & founder** Sporty & Rich evolved from an Instagram account — essentially a mood board — into a $30M+ business, with no outside funding. It was founded by Emily Oberg, who has held the CEO title since founding the company and retains full ownership. **Size** It's still relatively small. Oberg described revenue at roughly $40 million in 2025, with a goal of reaching $60 million. The company employs approximately 40 people, based in Paris and the United States. **What they do** Sporty & Rich belongs to a wave of young brands stealing market share from apparel giants by niching down and promoting lifestyles first, products second. The brand sells vintage-inspired activewear and loungewear at premium price points, and has been expanding into a broader wellness positioning — with future plans for skincare, supplements, and full-blown health clubs. **Retail** The latest milestone was opening its first retail space in NYC's SoHo neighborhood, selling trademark vintage-inspired gear alongside premium spa services and a health-conscious cafe. A second store in Los Angeles was also announced in late 2025. **Collaborations** Notable collabs include Sporty & Rich x Yale, S&R x NY Yankees, and most recently a running collection with Adidas Originals. **The drama** In early 2026, David Obadia — who had been working with the brand since 2018 and described himself as CEO — announced his exit. Oberg clarified that she had always held the CEO title and made all final decisions, describing Obadia's role as an "operator" under a licensing arrangement. In short: small team, no funding, ~$40M revenue, but punching well above its weight in cultural influence. Very much a brand-first business.
