On November 21, Bloomberg disclosed that, based on the latest tax return filings, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is set to receive a compensation package of $113,674 for 2024. This marks a roughly 50% surge from the $76,001 he pocketed in 2023. Altman, a 40-year-old OpenAI board member, has previously mentioned that his present income adequately covers his medical and other expenditures. He has also consistently clarified that he holds no equity stake in OpenAI, with his fortune emanating from diverse investment avenues. The tax filings further shed light on Larry Summers, the ex-U.S. Treasury Secretary, who emerged as the highest-paid external director at OpenAI, raking in an annual salary of $143,702 for a mere five-hour weekly commitment. This week, following revelations about his ties with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Summers stepped down from OpenAI's board and took a leave from his teaching role at Harvard University.
