Lucy Guo Snaps Up $30 Million L.A. Mansion—Weeks After Becoming the World's Youngest Self-Made Woman Billionaire
Tech mogul Lucy Guo, the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire, has invested a sizable portion of her enormous wealth into a sprawling new $30 million mansion in Los Angeles' iconic Bird Streets neighborhood.
The 30-year-old, who is a native of California, secured quite the impressive deal on the home, which was completed in 2024, when it first hit the market for $43 million.
Perched on a hillside that overlooks the Sunset Strip, the home is the epitome of modern luxury, having been outfitted with a wide array of very high-tech amenities, including motorized glass walls that retract to open up the home to the stunning exterior, "drought-tolerant landscaping," and climate-controlled wine rooms.
The home also features a top-of-the-line smart system, as well as an eco-conscious solar system to ensure that residents can enjoy an extraordinary level of comfort even in the event of a disaster.
Guo, who founded the social media company Passes, has not yet commented on her purchase of the extraordinary property—which was listed by Ginger Glass and Craig Lotzof of Compass and was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal.
Records show that Guo was represented by socialite Paris Hilton's brother, Barron Hilton, and his wife, Tessa Hilton, in the deal, which comes 18 months after the home was first put on the market.
"Designed by the iconic Vantage Design Group, this architectural marvel of concrete and steel is a showpiece of style, sophistication, and luxury," the listing stated.
"Offering breathtaking panoramic views, this estate is a seamless blend of cutting-edge design, opulent indoor-outdoor living, and top-tier amenities, including two elevators."
As well as the top-of-the-line tech, the property also features five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and several open-plan living spaces, including a "high-tech family and media room" that boasts a bar and an immersive LED media wall.
The choice to invest in a home with such impressive tech integration will come as no surprise to those familiar with Guo's impressive résumé, which saw her launching a career in the industry at the tender age of 21.
Guo, who splits her time between Los Angeles—where her AI platform, Passes, is based—and Miami—where she purchased her first home in late 2021, first began drawing interest from the tech world in 2016, when she co-founded the artificial intelligence company Scale AI alongside Alexandr Wang.
Though Guo left the company in 2018 over a "difference of opinion" with Wang, she retained the majority of her stake in the startup, a stake that is now worth a veritable fortune thanks to Scale AI's new valuation.
Guo also made plenty of money since leaving the company, after launching her own company, Passes, in 2022, only to snap up a jaw-dropping $50 million from investors in the first two years alone.
Her holding in Passes, combined with her "other assets," leave her with a net worth of $1.25 billion, according to Forbes—a fortune that saw her overtake pop star Taylor Swift as the world's youngest self-made woman billionaire in June of this year.
While amassing that impressive fortune, Guo has also built up an impressive bicoastal property portfolio, with homes in Florida and Los Angeles—albeit both pale in comparison to her latest acquisition.
Guo picked up her Miami abode in 2021 for $6.7 million. The condo sprawls across 4,727 square feet and comes with four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.
The luxury building features a two-car garage, an indoor resort-style pool, a fitness center, a movie theater, a rooftop helipad, and views of the beach and Miami's skyline.
The tower was designed by Zaha Hadid and left Guo in awe in 2021. At the time of purchase, she took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to gush: 'I am so *beyond* excited to close on my Miami home today ... haven't had an address in years. What a work of art #zahahadid."
Three years later, she snapped up the keys to a stunning five-bedroom, six-bathroom modern farmhouse in Los Angeles.
She purchased the property in 2024 for $4.2 million. The abode, which was built in 2018, sprawls across 4,643 square feet and comes with a two-car garage and a pool.
It offers several cozy fireplaces, French doors, a bar, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with dual vanities and a soaking tub.
Outside, there is a courtyard covered in lush greenery, a lounging space, and access to a rooftop deck.
It's unclear whether Guo will hold on to this home now that she's made a new property purchase in the city, or whether she will opt to put it on the market.
Guo is extremely proud of her growing property portfolio, having told Fortune in 2023, "I have a swanky apartment in Miami and a house in L.A. which is five minutes away from my office."
When it comes to commuting to work, Guo opts for "an electric skateboard" or is driven by her "assistant."
And it comes as no surprise that she has risen to the top of the tech world because she works so hard, she tends to eat at her desk, and only orders food from Uber Eats.
Guo also confessed that she never takes a "real vacation" due to how demanding her job is.
"I've never really had a real vacation. Even when I'm on vacation, I'm working at least eight hours per day," she said.
When she isn't working or lounging around one of her chic properties, she can be spotted getting her sweat on at Barry's Bootcamp, a workout class she attends twice a day.
The remainder of her little free time is spent dancing at music festivals like Coachella, which she attended in April after spending two weeks learning how to DJ.
Forbes unveiled its 10th Anniversary List of America's Richest Self-Made Women on June 4, revealing the 100 women who have amassed an eye-watering fortune through their work in tech, entertainment, and manufacturing.
