Key points
- Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei earned **$18M** in 2025, mostly in stock and options
- His sister Daniela Amodei received **$16.4M** total, with both seeing salary doubles to **$1.4M**
- Anthropic’s IPO filing hints at a potential valuation exceeding **$2 trillion**
Anthropic’s CTO, Krishna Rao, earned $720,250 in salary for 2025, while exercising options valued at $385,285 the prior year.

AI researcher Yann LeCun publicly criticized Amodei as ‘deluded,’ though the company declined to comment on the figures.
