Welcome to “How I Made My First Million,” Fortune’s newest series in which we interview today’s most powerful people about how they amassed their wealth. You’ll hear from founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and creatives across the globe on how they joined the seven-figure-club, what they’d do differently, and their best piece of advice for building wealth.
Lucy Guo knows a thing or two about money. The 28-year-old entrepreneur co-founded Scale AI, a generative A.I. startup that helps companies build out their own A.I. systems, in 2016. Scale AI is currently valued at $7.3 billion, and Guo, who left the company in 2018, owns 5.99%—nearly 47 million Class A shares.
