A former ballerina has surpassed Kylie Jenner and Taylor Swift to become the world's youngest self-made billionaire at just 29 years old. Brazilian-born Luana Lopes Lara has been confirmed by Forbes as the youngest woman on the planet to verifiably make a billion dollars entirely on her own - snatching the title from Scale AI's Lucy Guo, who herself dethroned Swift in April.

Are there any young woman billionaires, other than heiresses,that aren’t rich because of their looks?
In this case, it’s a brazilian.
When they declared Kylie Jenner the youngest female billionaire didn’t they later walk it back?
“There are few better trainings for being told ‘no’ and pushing through anyway than being a professional ballerina,’
After being replaced by a taller young woman, “I learned to stay on my toes,” said the modest Luana.

Kylie Kristen Jenner was born August 10, 1997 (age 28)
Net worth: $700 million(celebritynetworth.com)
According to Wiki.
I suspect the billion figure came from this transaction.
Kylie Jenner is an American model, reality television star, and cosmetics entrepreneur who has a net worth of $700 million. In a given year, Kylie Jenner earns $40 – $100 million from her various endeavors. The vast majority of Kylie Jenner’s net worth comes from the company she founded, Kylie Cosmetics. Initially launched as Kylie Lip Kits in 2015, the brand saw explosive early success, selling out in under a minute. In November 2019, Kylie sold 51% of her company to Coty Inc. for $600 million. Valuing the company as a whole at $1.2 billion. In the months following the deal, the value declined significantly. Kylie definitely earned around $340 million after taxes from the sale, but the value of her remaining 45% stake in the brand has gone down significantly.
A former ballerina has surpassed Kylie Jenner and Taylor Swift to become the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at just 29 years old.
As noted above Kylie Jenner is debunked.
Taylor apparently surpased $1 billion in 2023/2024. But she is not even in the top 500 of the richest people in the world. To get there you need to be worth at least

LOL...you owe me a tea!!!
FTA ...
.... But the road to riches for Lara followed years of ballet training at the notoriously cutthroat Bolshoi Theatre School in Joinville, Brazil, where teachers allegedly held lit cigarettes under her thigh to test her endurance.
She described secondary school as ‘the most intense years of her life’.
Yet, despite the chaos, she excelled academically - winning gold at the Brazilian Astronomy Olympiad and bronze at the Santa Catarina Mathematics Olympiad - before spending nine months performing as a professional ballerina in Austria.
She eventually swapped pointe shoes for computer science, moving alone to the US at 17 to study at MIT....
Lucy Guo is an American entrepreneur and engineer who co-founded Scale AI. In 2022, she founded her second start-up, known as Passes. As of 2025, Guo is the world’s youngest female self-made billionaire, due to her stake in Scale AI.
Ha-ha! That’s a lotta zeroes!
