Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, reportedly owns a 1% stake in Anthropic, an AI lab valued at $461 million during its Series A funding in 2021. This investment was significant, as it was made with tens of millions of dollars. In comparison, Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei holds a 2% stake in the company.
Anthropic is anticipated to go public soon, with potential valuations reaching up to $2 trillion. If this occurs, Schmidt's stake could increase his net worth by approximately $20 billion.
