Despite founding and retaining a $1.3 billion stake in an AI unicorn, you won’t catch Lucy Guo wasting her billions on a lavish lifestyle to match her new status.
“I don’t like wasting money,” the frugal 30-year-old tells Fortune.
Of course, sometimes Guo will splurge: If she’s got a 16-hour flight to endure, she says, she’ll opt for business class. And there’s the odd designer dress hanging in her closet for when she needs it.
“But in terms of like daily life, my assistant just drives me in a pretty old Honda Civic. I don’t care,” she says.
“Everything I wear is free or from Shein…Some of them aren’t going to be that great quality, but there’s always like two pieces or so that really work out, and I just wear them every day,” the billionaire founder says, laughing. “I still literally buy buy-one, get-one-free on Uber Eats.”
