It’s Official: Hearst Now Owns Elle Magazine
Lagardere, the French company that used to own Elle magazine and all of its international editions, has officially sold those magazines to the Hearst Corporation.

Hearst, which will be the country’s second largest magazine publisher by the time it completes its deal to buy Elle and other titles from Lagardere, managed to make it through economic horror by continuously keeping both its budgets and its staffs leaner than most androgynous male models — and keeping its nose out of the air. And now, it’s doing what Time Inc. and Conde Nast can’t even think about doing: spending over a billion dollars on new acquisitions.
