A 25-year-old college dropout who has inked deals with the U.S. military to help them harness artificial intelligence is now reportedly the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.

Alexandr Wang, who appeared on the Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in 2018, is co-founder and chief executive officer at Scale, a San Francisco-based startup that helps companies generate high-quality data for AI applications.

Last April, a $325 million funding round doubled Scale’s valuation to $7.3 billion in just over four months. Wang’s 15% stake is now worth $1 billion.

Scale’s origins can be traced back to the summer of 2016, when Wang — then a freshman at MIT — co-founded the startup during the break. Little did he know it would change the course of his life.

Wang co-founded Scale with Lucy Guo, whom he met at the age of 17 while coding full-time for Quora. Guo herself is currently chief executive officer at Moment, a Web3 platform for creators.

Wang’s early success can be attributed to his early show of talent. As a child, he was a math whiz, joining his first national competition in sixth grade.Wang’s parents were physicists wo worked on weapons for the military at New Mexico’s Los Alamos National lab, where the U.S. secretly developed its first atomic bomb.

Crucial data to note.

  1. He is a MIT dropout and not just a dropout from a regular college. MIT acceptance rates are less than 10% in a typical year.

  2. This stunt is mainly pulled by American citizens who have everything at their disposal.

  3. He is Han Chinese (ask @Sambamba about this)

  4. American valuations tend to be bloated and exaggerated way beyond their correct value, speaking from experience.

Why does Sucker-bugger look like a Chinese?

His wife is Chinese. But he is a Jewish American.

He may have dropped out, but he went to MIT and was already coding for Quora at 17. Bonobos will take this information at face value wakatae shule without realizing that this guy was obviously a child prodigy.

Shida ya stories kama hizi humisguide bonobos with average IQ.

To win the rat race from nothing, you have to be smarter, extremely lucky, or cheat. There is no other path to billionaire status.

Guys like you and I are not billionaires because we are not geniuses, we haven’t gotten extremely lucky (inheritance, lottery, being at the right place at the right time), and we are not criminals/cheaters (politicians, drug dealers, arms dealers, mafia bosses etc).

True… Right Place at the right time… If Equity’s James Mwangi was operating Equity from USA, He would be in the leagues of kina Bill Gates there…

Not likely. He would have found it difficult to get funding. And even after funding, growing hiyo bank in a racist country ingekuwa shida tupu, the other bigger Jewish owned banks would have outcompeted him. Usisahau Equity developed because of govt and tribal patronage.

Sure… I understand

‘Right’ could mean very many things; class, race, tribe, geography, family, genes etc. Essentially lucky sperm

True. The main reason Equity grew is because it targeted peasants and solved an existing problem. That problem did not exist in the West. For example, Mwangi and his team realized that “minimum balance” was a major barrier to banking so they scrapped it. Siku hizi hata @Jimit with his 2500 bob ako Equity. There was a big untapped market for peasants.
