The youngest self-made female billionaire in town is apparently a swiftie. Lucy Guo, a 30-year-old tech mogul with a net worth of $1.2 billion, has just risen to the top spot, but she isn't here to celebrate. In fact, she hopes her icon, Taylor takes it back.

Did Lucy Guo really surpass Taylor Swift?

Lucy Guo, co-founder of Scale AI, has officially become the youngest self-made female billionaire, surpassing Taylor Swift. Instead of bragging, she proudly accepts her Swiftie status.

Even though Lucy sold off her 5% stake in Scale AI, which is currently valued at about $25 billion, back in 2018, she still has a healthy net worth of $1.2 billion, surpassing Taylor as the youngest self-made female billionaire. She also owns shares in another startup, Passes, as per a report by TMZ.

Lucy continued to compliment Swift, stating that Taylor was very laid-back and that they even became friends because they knew people in Ice Spice's social circle.

Guo even joked that she is ready to be "dethroned" by Taylor, praising the singer's chill vibe and girl-power spirit after meeting her at Coachella.

Is she serious about being ‘dethroned’?

She claimed that despite all the hype surrounding her status as the most successful self-made billionaire, she is not holding onto the title and is actually excited to be dethroned soon because it will mean that more women are succeeding in the startup industry.

Lucy Guo claims that Taylor hasn't contacted her since the news broke, but it's still a pretty big flex. However, she is confident that they will cross paths once more, as per a report by TMZ.
