Still based on the Forbes list, among all women, Taylor is the youngest of all, at just 33 years old.
Therefore, for economics professor Carolyn Sloan, from the University of Chicago, Taylor is a great company, and from that comes success. “Its audience has been young and female for so long that people may have underestimated how big it could be, economically. I don’t think anyone doubts that today.”
