According to Bloomberg, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt owns about 1% of Anthropic, having invested tens of millions in its 2021 Series A round when the startup was valued at $461 million. This stake is notably large compared to the 2% held by co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei. With Anthropic expected to go public before the end of the year and potential valuations reaching $2 trillion, Schmidt's stake could add as much as $20 billion to his net worth, currently estimated at $57.5 billion.
