Sam Altman will give himself 7% of OpenAI worth $10.5B

Sam Altman will give himself 7% of Open AI which at its current valuation of $150B would be $10.5B in shares

Sam Altman on taking shares in OpenAI just 4 months ago:

“It's so deeply unimaginable to people to say i don’t really need more money... If I were to say I'm going to try and make a trillion dollars with OpenAI it would save a lot of conspiracy theories”
— All-In Podcast, May 2024

I'm a capitalist and I love people getting rich of their businesses

What I personally don't like is the snakey ways Sam is doing all this in

You never know if he's telling the truth or not

It's fine to get rich, just say you wanna get rich, you're changing the world, you should get rewarded but don't lie
