The singer Lucy Guo Until recently that title had a heritage of 1.6 billion dollars. But Guoa Entrepreneur of the technological sector And defender of high performance, has managed to climb to the top with a combination of audacity, extreme discipline and business vision.
Originally from California and Daughter of Chinese immigrantsLucy fell in love with the programming in her adolescence. Instead of following the traditional path, he left the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University, where he studied computer science, after being selected for Thiel Fellowswip, a scholarship financed by businessman Peter Thiel who pays young people to leave the university and launch their own companies.
With just 21 years, Guo co -founded Scale Ai with Alexandr Wang, a startup specialized in artificial intelligence. Guo led the operations and product design teams, and in 2018 both were recognized by the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. However, the relationship between the co -founders ended badly: “The co -founders disagreed on how the company should go and Wang fired Guo,” Forbes explained.
Even so, Guo retained an important participation in the company. And that decision was visionary. In 2025, Scale AI was valued at 25 billion dollarswhich raised the value of its participation (almost 5%) to approximately 1.2 billion dollars, catapulting it directly to the multimillionaire club.
After his departure from Scale AI, Guo founded the Passes platform in 2022, a digital tool for Content creators who compete with models such as Onlyfans or Patreon. In just two years, the company raised 50 million dollars in three rounds of investment and was valued at 150 million.
Passes allows celebrities and creators monetizing their community through exclusive content and live broadcasts. Some of Its outstanding users include the gymnast Olivia Dunne, the former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal and the DJ Kygo.

“We reject any statement that we approve or allow the publication of explicit content of minors. Any effort to attribute to Passes or its founder improper behavior is unfounded and is nothing more than an attempt to unjustly imply them in demand,” He declared a spokesman for Forbes.

According to Fortune in 2023, he has two properties: “An elegant apartment in Miami and a house in Los Angeles five minutes from my office. ” It moves on an electric skateboard or is driven by its assistant, and frequently lunch in front of the desk while working.

In addition, he has passion for electronic music and has attended festivals such as Coachella and Ultra Miami, where he even learned to be DJ for two weeks. Guo has not been oblivious to cultural pressures. By fulfilling 30, he shared on social networks his fear for the social expectations inherited from his origin: “I have always been afraid of this age. Immigrant Chinese culture instilled in me that I had to have children at 25, and if I was not married at 30, I would be single forever,” He wrote on Instagram.
But his conclusion was as powerful as his career: “Every year is better. I am more confident, excited and motivated than ever. And as the Asians do not age, every year I become richer and more beautiful.”
