Overview

  • Forbes names Guo the youngest self-made female billionaire at 30, dethroning Taylor Swift.
  • She holds a roughly 5% stake in Scale AI, whose recent $25 billion valuation propelled her wealth.
  • Guo founded Passes in 2022, a content creation platform that raised $40 million in its Series A round.
  • Passes faces a February class action alleging the platform allowed child pornography, and her lawyers moved in April to dismiss the suit.
  • Guo dropped out of Carnegie Mellon after winning a $100,000 Thiel Fellowship and previously worked at Quora and Snapchat.
