The woman who just overtook Taylor Swift as the youngest self-made female billionaire isn’t letting that get to her head — she’s shaking off the Taylor Swift “dethroning” talk, and making one thing clear … she’s a proud Swiftie first, mogul second.
Lucy Guo — the 30-year-old Scale A.I. co-founder with a billion-dollar-plus empire — tells TMZ Taylor’s the icon, and yep, she fully fangirled when she met her at Coachella last year.
Lucy kept the Swift praise coming … saying Taylor was super chill, and they even bonded over knowing folks in Ice Spice’s circle.

As for all the buzz about being the top self-made billionaire, Lucy tells us she’s not clinging to the crown — in fact, she’s hyped to be dethroned herself soon, ’cause it means more women are killing it in the startup game. Now, that’s a girl’s girl!

It’s still a pretty major flex — but Lucy says Taylor hasn’t hit her up since the news broke. No hard feelings though … she’s sure their paths will cross again.

Lucy may have dipped out of Scale AI — which is currently worth around $25 billion — back in 2018, but her 5% stake (plus her shares in another startup, Passes) has her sitting pretty with a Forbes-estimated net worth of $1.2 billion, which had her dethroning Taylor for the top youngest self-made female billionaire spot.
That’s a sweet deal!
