Lucy Guo has officially replaced Taylor Swift as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire — and it’s all thanks to her stake in Scale AI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup that has become a powerhouse in the rapidly evolving tech industry.
At just 30 years old, Guo is worth an estimated $1.3 billion, according to Forbes, the result of her early investment and co-founding of Scale AI, which is reportedly raising funds at a valuation of $25 billion.
What Is Scale AI and What Does It Do?
Founded in 2016 by Lucy Guo and Alexandr Wang, Scale AI specializes in data labeling and annotation services used to train artificial intelligence systems.
These services are crucial for AI applications, including autonomous vehicles, computer vision, and natural language processing.
The startup’s client list includes OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and has raised over $600 million from major investors like Accel, Founders Fund, and Index Ventures.
