On October 20, Bloomberg reported that Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, possesses a stake of roughly 1% in the AI startup Anthropic, a position he secured through early investment in the company. Schmidt injected tens of millions of dollars into Anthropic during its Series A funding phase, and it is still uncertain whether he has divested any portion of his holdings. As Anthropic gears up for its initial public offering (IPO), Schmidt stands to emerge as one of the most lucrative individual investors. Some investors anticipate that Anthropic's IPO valuation could fall within the range of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, implying that Schmidt's 1% stake might be valued at an impressive $15 billion to $20 billion. Anthropic is set to commence its IPO roadshow as early as November 9 and aims to finalize its public listing by the year's end.
