BROCKMAN'S OPENAI STAKE VALUED AT $30B

AI DESK■ 1 MIN READ

MON, MAY 4, 2026

OpenAI President Greg Brockman's stake in the company is now worth nearly $30 billion, according to his own valuation. The figure positions him among the largest individual shareholders in the ChatGPT maker.

Brockman co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and has remained a central figure through the company's rapid expansion. His stake valuation reflects OpenAI's dramatic rise in market assessment since the public launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. The $30 billion valuation aligns with recent funding rounds that have valued OpenAI in the hundreds of billions. In September 2024, the company raised capital at a $157 billion valuation, though subsequent developments may have influenced current estimates. Brockman's substantial wealth concentration in OpenAI underscores the extreme value creation at the AI startup. The company has become a focal point in the generative AI race, competing directly with Google, Meta, and other tech giants developing large language models. OpenAI has not independently confirmed Brockman's valuation claim.
