Anthropic targets $1.5-2T IPO that could mint employee millionaires — but asks candidates what if stock hits zero
ArtificialOther · x · 2026-11-02
Anthropic is targeting a November IPO at a $1.5-2 trillion valuation, potentially eclipsing SpaceX's record, which could turn many of its 2,500+ employees into millionaires.
CEO Dario Amodei (net worth $15.5B) has reportedly expressed concern that AI workers prioritize money over mission — so the company now asks job candidates what they would do if the stock fell to zero, as a filter for mission alignment.
