SF AI Startup Founder Dethrones Taylor Swift as World's Youngest Self-Made Female Billionaire
Briefly

Lucy Guo, co-founder of Scale AI, has eclipsed Taylor Swift to become the youngest self-made billionaire woman according to Forbes, primarily due to her company’s estimated $25 billion valuation. Despite this milestone, Guo admits her billionaire status comes mostly from ‘other-people's-money’ calculations. While Guo's reported wealth is $1.25 billion compared to Swift's $1.6 billion, the distinction lies in their ages: Guo is 30 and Swift is 35. The article also questions Forbes' criteria for defining 'self-made' billionaires, highlighting that both women came from affluent backgrounds.
I don't really think about it much, it's a bit wild. Too bad it's all on paper haha, Guo told Forbes via text upon learning of her new billionaire status.
Lucy Guo has dethroned Taylor Swift as the world's youngest self-made billionaire woman on the Forbes list, though this is an other-people's-money calculation based on Scale AI's recent $25 billion valuation.
