Alexandr Wang, the gifted artificial intelligence expert, gives the keys to reaching the sky of success.

Alexandr Wang is the world's youngest billionaire, with a net worth of $3.6 billion, according to Forbes. At 28, the CEO of Scale AI will play a pivotal role in Mark Zuckerberg's planned future "superintelligence" lab, following the $14.8 billion purchase agreement between the multinational Meta and the AI startup.

This American, the son of scientists from New Mexico, enrolled at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) to study Mathematics and Computer Science, but a year later he decided to drop out to fully dedicate himself to Scale AI, his business venture. He's not the only genius who has decided to drop out of school to enter the business world: Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Dylan Field (Figma), Austin Russell (Luminar), and Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum).

Along these lines, Wang offers some advice to those who decide to drop out of school. "Not everyone has to follow the same path." For this young entrepreneur, the most important thing is to have a plan and take small steps to achieve it, even if you don't know how others think you should.

At 24, Wang (not to be confused with designer Alexander Wang) was already on the list of self-made rich young people, and at the time he dared to offer some advice that demonstrated his entrepreneurial spirit. "Focus on building the company, and the rest will fall into place," he said in a recent interview with Business Insider .

For Wang, another truly important aspect lies in the relationships with the people closest to you. For him, it's key to "surround yourself with truly excellent people." This is something truly difficult to achieve, but not impossible. As Steve Jobs said, "A large part of my success is based on finding these truly talented people, and not settling for B- or C-level players, but seeking out A-level players."

In the workplace, Wang is adamant and unequivocal in stating that you have to "find something to work on for a long time," at least 10 years. He asserts that "moving from one place to another doesn't guarantee greater knowledge or greater skill."

He also asserts that achieving success requires "working harder than you think you should." For Wang, "hard work is a habit you learn when you're young."

Finally, this young entrepreneur hits the nail on the head when he states, "You have to look for what others don't see." Here, Wang noticed that businesses and governments weren't making good use of the available data, or at least didn't know how to do so. With this, Wang emphasizes the importance of finding a missed opportunity and exploiting it.
