Sean Strickland forcibly removed from UFC White House event by Secret Service UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland was removed from the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., after showing up despite claiming he had been excluded from the White House event.  Strickland later clarified on Instagram that he was not arrested but suggested he might face a disorderly conduct charge, which in D.C. carries penalties of up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.  His presence drew immediate hostility from the pro-Trump crowd, with chants of “USA” erupting before Secret Service agents escorted him out. Strickland had been vocal in the weeks leading up to the event, insisting that his exclusion was politically motivated due to his outspoken criticism of Trump’s ties to Israel and Jeffrey Epstein.  He mocked the event online, even parodying a famous photo of Trump at the Western Wall.

TECH ENTREPRENEUR LUCY GUO HAS BECOME THE WORLD’S YOUNGEST SELF-MADE WOMAN BILLIONAIRE AT THE AGE OF 30, OVERTAKING POP SUPERSTAR TAYLOR SWIFT, WHO IS 35.(PHOTO).


 Tech entrepreneur Lucy Guo has become the world’s youngest self-made woman billionaire at the age of 30, overtaking pop superstar Taylor Swift, who is 35.

 This major achievement comes as her former company, Scale AI, is set for a big financial deal. According to Forbes, Scale AI’s new valuation has jumped to $25 billion—an 80% increase from last year. The upcoming tender offer on June 1 will allow early investors and employees to sell their shares, giving Guo a huge boost in net worth.


Lucy Guo co-founded Scale AI in 2016. The company helps train artificial intelligence systems by organizing data for companies like OpenAI and even the U.S. government. Guo, a first-generation Chinese-American from the Bay Area, learned to code in middle school and later joined the Thiel Fellowship—a program that gives young people $100,000 to start businesses instead of going to college. She dropped out of Carnegie Mellon University to follow this path.


Before starting Scale, Guo worked at tech companies like Quora and Snapchat. After leaving Scale, she started a venture capital firm called Backend Capital and invested in successful startups like Ramp. In 2022, she launched Passes, a platform similar to OnlyFans that helps creators earn money through subscriptions and live chats. Passes has raised $50 million and is now valued at $150 million, with celebrities like Shaquille O’Neal and Olivia Dunne using the platform.


Lucy Guo’s journey from a self-taught coder to a billionaire businesswoman shows how tech continues to shape the future of wealth. While Taylor Swift became a billionaire through her music and business deals in 2023, Guo’s rise comes from building companies and investing in the startup world. Her success story is a modern example of the American dream, proving that with skills, risk-taking, and vision, anything is possible.
