Hearing the story of many big billionaires in the world, it seems that there is no fixed roadmap for success. Sometimes the sky is touched by leaving college books. Be it Bil Gates or Mark Zuckerberg, we all know their story. But now a new name has been added to this list – Lucy Guo.
Lucy Guo is a 30 -year -old girl who is the founder of a content creator platform named Passes. In June 2025, Forbes gave him the title of youngest self-made billionaire, and his total assets were estimated at $ 1.25 billion. That is, about 115,271,000,000 rupees, but the journey of Lucy was not easy.
He studied Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Melon University in America. But there was only one year left to complete the degree, then he left college.
In 2011, he joined Thiel Fellowship, where Peepa’s co-founder Peter Thiel gives a fellowship of $ 2 lakh to selected youth, so that he can start his company. This decision was no less than a shock for his parents.
According to the CNBC report, Lucy said, “My parents had put everything at stake for our future in America. When I came so close to the degree and left studies, it was like rejecting dreams for them.” But Lucy did not give up. He started his first business scale AI, which was later bought by Tech Legend Meta. This deal changed his life.
He also said, “My advice is to go to college for at least one or two years. There are the best friends and smartest people of life.” Lucy believes that college is the place where everyone is ready to friend and learn. He said that future partners or employees can also be found here. Therefore, recognize smart friends in college and befriend them – the same people can later become part of your company. This is a advice like gold for every Indian student, where there is a lot of pressure, but the value of friendship is not less.
Thiel Fellowship brought turning points in Lucy’s life. He told that this fellowship took him to a community where it was common to make unicorn startups. Lucy said, “A little madness and lots of confidence are needed to create a successful company. The fellowship gave me the atmosphere where it felt that yes, I could do this too.”
The story of Lucy is inspiration for every youth. It is not easy to leave college, but you can touch the sky by choosing the right path. Today, at the age of 30, she is running passes, which is giving new heights to the content creators. His name in the Forbes list proves that anything can be achieved with hard work and courage.
