“In the tech world, OpenAI is riding high, with ChatGPT becoming a household name and the company adding approximately $10 billion in valuation. And at the helm of this success is 38-year-old co-founder and CEO, Sam Altman, who has become a rising star in business circles. A St. Louis native and Stanford dropout, Altman’s journey began with his first startup, Loopt, before he ventured into venture capital and led Y Combinator, backing renowned companies like Airbnb and Instacart. Since 2019, Altman has focused on OpenAI, but his diverse investments extend beyond AI, spanning nuclear fusion, brain-implant startups, and multiple biotech companies. With an estimated net worth of around $500 million, Altman’s early passion for technology has been the driving force behind his success, as he continues to explore ways to extend human life through innovative ventures like Retro Biosciences. This visionary leader’s journey is far from over, and the tech world eagerly awaits his next move.”
