Here’s the top five youngest female celebrity billionaires – London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

At just 30, Lucy Guo has become the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire, overtaking Taylor Swift after Scale AI’s valuation surged 80% in less than a year.

To identify the top five female celebrity billionaires who made it before 40, Falcon Funded analyzed net worth estimates from leading financial publications.

The ranking focused on self-made public figures in entertainment, fashion, beauty, and tech.

At just 30 years old, Lucy Guo ranks first among female celebrity billionaires under 40, reaching an estimated $1.3 billion in 2025.

A co-founder of Scale AI and founder of Passe, Guo represents a rare success story from the tech sector among female celebrities. Though she left the company in 2018, her retained equity delivered most of her gains—what she calls “mostly on paper.”

Taylor Swift became a billionaire in 2023 at age 32, with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion. Her earnings from the Eras Tour, combined with ownership of her music masters, pushed her into the billionaire bracket.

Selena Gomez reached billionaire status in 2024 at age 32, with her net worth now estimated at $1.3 billion. Most of her financial ascent comes from Rare Beauty, her highly successful cosmetics brand.

Rihanna joined the billionaire club in 2021 at age 34, achieving an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion. She holds a 50% stake in Fenty Beauty, launched with LVMH, and runs Savage X Fenty lingerie. Her sustained music and fashion careers also contributed, but the strength of her consumer brands established her financial legacy.

Zhao Wei reached billionaire status in 2015 at age 39, with a reported net worth of $1 billion. Unlike others on the list, Zhao’s wealth stems from her acting and directing success in China and early investments, notably in Alibaba Pictures.

Nathan Nolan, a spokesperson from Falcon Funded said, “Today’s female celebrity billionaires aren’t just riding the wave of fame—they’re building businesses they believe in, backing ideas that reflect who they are, and making smart, long-term moves. What sets them apart isn’t just how quickly they’ve risen, but how thoughtful, diverse, and strategic their paths have been.”
