About Me

He served as CEO of Scale AI until June 2025, when Meta acquired 49% of the company in a deal that valued Scale at around $29 billion and Wang left Scale to become Meta's chief AI officer. Wang was the world's youngest self-made billionaire until October 2025, when he was overtaken by Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan. A New Mexico native, Wang landed full time engineering jobs in Silicon Valley at age 17 with fintech Addepar and then question-and-answer site Quora. At age 19, after a brief stint at MIT to study machine learning, Wang dropped out to attend the Y Combinator accelerator and launch Scale.
