Guo, dubbed “Miami’s number one party girl” by the New York Post, now resides in Los Angeles. She is also passionate about empowering female entrepreneurs and has openly criticized venture capital’s gender bias.
“If you take two people that are exactly the same… every investor thinks the male is going to do better, which sucks,” she told Forbes.

Interestingly, Guo doesn’t mind the idea of being unseated as the youngest self-made female billionaire.
“I have almost no doubt this title can be taken in three to six months… women are crushing it,” she said. “Entrepreneurship is growing.”
