Anthropic’s six founders have entered the Forbes 400 with estimated individual fortunes of about $15.5 billion and combined wealth of approximately $93 billion, underscoring the rapid rise of the AI startup since its 2021 establishment by former OpenAI employees. The company’s Claude chatbot business and latest funding round reportedly lifted its valuation to $965 billion, putting Anthropic ahead of OpenAI. Anthropic is also expanding in financial services through a BlackRock partnership, following work with Charles Schwab and Addepar. The developments are presented as evidence of investor confidence and may affect expectations for further valuation gains and OpenAI’s potential IPO timeline, although those outcomes remain uncertain.
