Artificial intelligence has minted many millionaires, and some people have become billionaires because of their AI startups. OpenAI was one of the first mainstream AI companies due to ChatGPT, which gets more than 700 million weekly users, according to OpenAI. However, its founder, Sam Altman, isn't going to end up with the big payday that everyone expects.
It turns out he doesn't have any equity in OpenAI, which he revealed at the New York Times' DealBook Summit back in December. He only earns $76,001 per year, which doesn't sound like much for the leader of an innovative AI startup that may be the most valuable private company.
