The serial entrepreneur turned into a billionaire Lucy Gu, shared that growing up with the savings parents motivated her to start from the first days of childhood.
A recent thirty -year -old man was named the youngest billionaire forbes, which is $ 1.3 billion after her The first business, Scale AI, was purchased by the Meta technological giant in an agreement that evaluated AI $ 25 billion data marking campaign.
The young entrepreneur is currently the founder of the Pracks Creator Monetization Pracks, launched in 2022. It also founded the Venture Backend Ventures, in 2019, which invests the funds in technological startups in the early stage.
The roots go back to Franont, California, where she grew up with immigrant parents.
“I think my parents have always emphasized the importance of education and money, so I was certainly forced to have good scientists from education. They threw me at Abacus competitions,” Gu said that CNBC did it.
This led to her study of computer science and interaction of a computer man at Carnegie University, but she refused two years, to disappointing the parents who were set to education. She has only one year left to complete the degree.
“They (parents) sacrificed everyone to immigrate from China to America to give their children a better future, and because education gave them everything they have in life, so that their children suddenly let their education go when they almost finished in the face,” she said.
Instead, Gu decided to do the Thiel scholarship, a program launched by billionaire PayPal Peter Til, who offers young people $ 200,000 to build innovative companies.
“I think they (parents) considered that as a sign I didn’t like them, and they were not very pleased when it was just betting on myself and decided to optimize what I thought would be a better future for myself.”
Earn money on the playground
Becoming an entrepreneur was a natural way for Gu, who had already fussed in elementary school and sought ways to make money. Her parents led a “very careful life,” she said.
“But they have always emphasized that having money is important, so I would find ways to make money on the playground,” Gu said. “I would like to trade Pokémon cards and then sell them. I would sell colored pencils, all I could find.”
The parents were strict and took away the money when she did not behave. So, in the second grade, Ha went to Home Depot and received a debit card, opening the PayPal account to save his money.
Its money that makes money has been progressing over the years. A lover of the game Neopets, she took the forums to sell virtual creatures Neopet and currency in the game Neopoints.
“I would get rare pets, rare items and resell them for real cash,” she said.
When she discovered technology and coding, she started making boots to cheat the game and sell them.
“Then I started finding other ways to make money online, producing web -residues using Google AdSense, and then creating online marketing tools … from there just snow.”
“Only the pleasure I could on the computer”
Go said that her success was made up of video games, which promoted interest in computer science.
“I think I am a pretty social man, but since I was not very cool and did not allow you to be social, I spent a great deal all my time on the computers that grow,” Gu said. “The only pleasure I could have been on the computer.”
She said that the children who spend time playing video games usually try to find out how to be better in the game.
“Video games so much such students study computer science … The same thing happened for me where I wanted:” How do I create my own game? How do I be (come) better in this game? “
She added: “I think if I were more cool at school and I was allowed to sleep and allowed to hang out with my friends and allowing you to play sports, everything will look different.”
Instead, the entrepreneurial spirit of Gu brought it to the billionaires forbes – although some of its enterprises were close attention.
