Luana Lopes Lara Becomes Youngest Self-Made Female Billionaire, Maintains Work Focus
Luana Lopes Lara, 30, co-founder and COO of prediction market platform Kalshi, has become the world's youngest self-made female billionaire with a net worth of $2.6 billion. Despite her wealth, she maintains a focused work routine of 12 to 14 hours daily and has not significantly changed her lifestyle. Raised in a middle-class family and a former ballerina, Lara emphasizes growth of Kalshi over personal luxuries. Kalshi's valuation rose from $2 billion in mid-2025 to $22 billion by mid-2026, with plans for further fundraising.
