Taylor Swift Loses Title Of World’s Youngest Self-Made Billionaire

Taylor Swift has lost the title of the world’s youngest self-made billionaire to 30-year-old college dropout Lucy Guo, who has a net worth of $1.3 billion, according to Forbes.

Guo took Swift’s title of the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire in April, after it was reported the firm she co-founded with Alexandr Wang, Scale AI, had been valued at $25 billion.

Guo and Wang co-founded the artificial intelligence business back in 2016 when she was 21, and he was 19.

Guo quit her degree in computer science and human-computer interactions at Carnegie Mellon University.

She is also the founder and CEO of Passes, a platform where creators can build a community and directly connect with their fans.

Passes was founded in 2022 and has managed to raise an astonishing $50 million from investors.

For her 30th birthday, she threw a huge party she called Lucypalooza.

Taking to Instagram, the Passes CEO opened up about how she was “scared of this age” because she is not married with children.

“Immigrant Chinese culture instilled in me that I should have kids by 25 and if I weren't married by 30, I would be single forever,” she wrote.

“But every single year keeps getting better. I'm more confident, excited, and motivated than ever before. I have the best friends that anyone could ask for.

“I couldn't be more grateful for the amount of love I have in my life.

“And because Asians don't raisin, every year I'm getting richer AND hotter.”
