Taylor Swift is the undisputed Queen of Pop, but she was recently bumped out of the top spot on a different list. Scale AI co-founder Lucy Guo has just replaced Swift as the world's youngest self-made female billionaire. According to Forbes, Guo is worth an astonishing $1.3 billion. Guo founded Scale AI with Alexandr Wang in 2016 when she was only 21. The company uses sophisticated data modeling to help develop AI applications.
Life is a question of timing, and Guo is reaping the rewards of building a successful AI company when the sector is a magnet for investor capital. It should be noted, however, that she's not an overnight success story. She may be only 30, but Guo has spent more than half her life working with computers. According to the New York Post, Guo first took up coding while attending middle school in the San Francisco Bay Area.
