Lucy Guo, the tech entrepreneur best known as a co-founder of Scale AI, has officially dethroned Taylor Swift to become the youngest self-made woman billionaire at only 30 years old. 

Guo co-founded the generative AI start-up in 2016 with Alexandr Wang and left the company in 2018. Today, the San Francisco based company is valued at $14 billion, but the company is currently wrapping up a tender offer that would place its valuation at $25 billion. Guo still owns an estimated stake of about 5%, worth $1.2 billion.
