Ben & Jerry's was sold to Unilever in 2000 for $326 million. Adjusted for inflation, this amount would be approximately $607 million in 2025 dollars.
Currently, as of 2025, there are reports that the founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, are engaged in talks to potentially buy back the brand from Unilever. However, Unilever has stated that Ben & Jerry's is "not for sale" and is undergoing a demerger to become a standalone company with listings planned in Amsterdam, London, and New York.
