Tech mogul Lucy Guo — recently crowned the world’s youngest self-made woman billionaire at 30 — has expanded her housing portfolio by buying a nearly $30 million mansion in Los Angeles’ Bird Streets neighborhood.
The California native landed a bargain at $29.5 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. The house at 1680 North Doheny Drive had an original listing price of $43 million in January 2024, The Real Deal reported.
An LLC connected to Australian developer Caydon Property Group developed the mansion, based on property records.
Perched on a hillside with sweeping views of the Sunset Strip, the home is a modern architectural glass house designed by Vantage Design Group. Its technology-focused features include retractable glass walls, drought-tolerant landscaping, two elevators and climate-controlled wine rooms. The residence also features an eco-friendly solar system, eight bathrooms, five bedrooms and a media room with an LED wall and bar.
Guo, who co-founded Scale AI in 2016 before launching her own platform, Passes, in 2022, has a net worth of $1.3 billion, according to Forbes. Her stake in Scale AI, which she retained after leaving the company in 2018 due to differences of opinion with co-founder Alexandr Wang, is now worth a fortune following the company’s recent valuation surge. Meanwhile, Passes has raised $50 million in two years from investors.
Barron and Tessa Hilton represented Guo in the deal, while Compass agents Ginger Glass and Craig Lotzof held the listing.
This is Guo’s third known real estate purchase. In 2021, she bought a $6.7 million condominium in a Zaha Hadid-designed Miami tower. The 4,727-square-foot residence features four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a movie theater, rooftop helipad and beach views. In 2024, she picked up a modern farmhouse in L.A. for $4.2 million. It has 4,643 square feet with six bathrooms, a pool and a garage.
