Passes positions itself as an alternative “mainstream” to Onlyfans and has already partnered with names such as former basketball player Shaquille O’Neal and gymnast Olivia Dunne.
With $ 40 million raised in Seed round, the company and Guo currently face a US collective action, which claims that the platform has profit from explicit content involving minors. Passes states that the accusation is “categorically false and ignores the truth irresponsibly.”

Influence of Fire Movement
Guo has already told the Fire movement to influence the decisions it made at the beginning of its career. “He entered Reddit to read the forums about Lean Fire and Fat Fire, because they really teach a lot about financial management and heritage construction. When you are young, you can afford to receive a lower salary,” he said. She liked the idea of being able to “retire with relatively little money and still live well.”
Defender of a frugal lifestyle, he usually advises those who want to enrich “living below their means.” Now billionaire, has access to a standard of living that many only imagine.
According to, Guo is one of six billionaire women under 40 in the world. It is also the only one on the list that has built most of the assets in a company that has already turned off. In addition to Fire, she attributes her success to the professional connections made throughout her career.
“Your networking is your heritage,” he told. “If you have good connections with funds and employees or startup founders in the early -stage, you can make money by intermediating sales of participation in promising companies.”
