Lucy Guo is now the world’s youngest self-made woman billionaire at age 30. Forbes says she took this title from Taylor Swift, a 35-year-old singer.
Lucy grew up in a Chinese immigrant family. Her parents were electrical engineers. They taught her to work hard. She learned coding in middle school. She studied computer science in college but left early to start businesses.
In 2016, Lucy and her friend started Scale AI. The company helps companies use data to train AI systems. It works with Tesla and OpenAI. Now Scale AI is worth $25 billion. Lucy owns 5% worth $1.2 billion. She left Scale AI in 2018 but kept starting new companies.
Then Lucy created Backend Capital to help engineers. Later she made Passes. Passes lets online creators earn money through videos and chats. It got $50 million funding (资金).
Lucy saves money carefully. She follows “FIRE” — saving early to retire young. She says, “Spend less than you earn.” Even rich, she works 12 hours daily. She skydives for fun but never stops working, even on trips.
As a child, Lucy was bullied (欺负) for her family being poor. This made her want to succeed. Her coding skills and her parents’ values helped her. Today, she shows how tech skills and hard work can change one’s life.
