While Showbiz Galore suggested that she might have been paid $1.5 million for playing Ariel though some news outlets mentioned a lower amount of $500,000. Despite some complaints about the film featuring a Black Ariel, this role made Halle Bailey famous, especially among young Disney fans. Early reviews of the film were great, with Variety's Jazz Tangcay saying that Halle Bailey did an amazing job. "The Little Mermaid" ranks among the top 10 films of 2023 worldwide, having earned an impressive $570 million at the global box office. Audiences loved it, giving it an A CinemaScore and a high 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Halle and Chloe Bailey teamed up in 2011 to create the R&B duo Chloe x Halle, starting with a YouTube channel where they covered Beyoncé's songs. They gained attention after appearing on "The Ellen Show" in April 2012 and played choir members in the movie "Let It Shine" that year. They won a competition on Radio Disney's "Next Big Thing" in 2013 and performed on the Disney Channel's "Austin & Ally." They released an EP called "Uncovered" in 2013.

Beyoncé was so impressed by Chlöe x Halle's YouTube covers that her management company, Parkwood Entertainment, offered the talented sisters a 5-year, six-album contract worth $1 million, per StyleCaster. Additionally, they likely earned decent paychecks from touring with Beyoncé in 2016 and 2018. In 2016, the duo also contributed to Michelle Obama's charity song "This Is for My Girls" and were invited to perform at the White House Easter Egg Roll. The duo had the thrilling experience of joining Beyoncé in her widely popular "Lemonade" visual album.

Halle Bailey recently moved into her first solo apartment in Los Angeles after finishing her work on "The Little Mermaid." Her apartment is in the same building as her sister Chlöe's which makes them neighbors and offers a convenient balance of togetherness and personal space. Halle Bailey lives in her new apartment with her cat Poseidon. Halle Bailey has a close-knit family, including her older sister, Ski, and younger brother, Branson.
