Forbes named Lucy Guo as the official youngest self-made female billionaire.
American singer and songwriter Taylor Swift has officially lost her status as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire, according to a report. The title is now officially held by Lucy Guo, a 30-year-old tech entrepreneur.
How Lucy Guo Made Her Fortune
Guo co-founded Scale AI at the age of 21, and today, the company is valued at $25 billion, a remarkable 80% increase from its valuation of $13.8 billion just a year ago.
However, in 2018, following a feud with her co-founder Alexandr Wang, Guo exited Scale AI, according to Forbes. She retained about a 5% stake in the company, and that move has now paid off, making her fortune an estimated $1.25 billion, Forbes reported.
Guo is a college dropout, who is one of just six self-made women billionaires under 40 years-old, and the only one to hit that milestone after leaving the company that made her rich.
