IT之家 News on 10/6: According to Reuters, Anthropic's initial public offering (IPO) prospectus shows that company CEO Dario Amodeireceived total compensation of US$18 million last year(IT之家 note: approximately RMB 121 million at current exchange rates). In terms of compensation scale, he sits in the middle tier among executives of mainstream tech companies.
Amodei's compensation structure leans toward diversified incentives such as stock, similar to other tech company founders, with his fixed annual salary representing only a small fraction of his total personal wealth.
According to reports, Dario Amodei and his sister — Anthropic President Daniela Amodei — both had their annual salaries doubled in month 7 of this year, each reaching US$140万 (approximately RMB 940万 at the current exchange rate).
Stock and stock option awards make up the vast majority of the two's 2025 compensation packages, with Daniela Amodei's total compensation last year reaching US$16.4 million (approximately RMB 110 million at current exchange rates).
Anthropic's board this year committed to additional equity incentives for the brother and sister in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). These equity awards are stipulated to formally vest only when specific prerequisites are met: part of the equity is tied to their tenure, while the rest is tied to the company's IPO process.
Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao's total compensation last year was US$720,250 (approximately RMB 4.836 million at current exchange rates). Rao was granted an option allocation of 1.4 million shares upon joining in 2024, and exercised options with a fair value of US$385,285 (approximately RMB 2.587 million at current exchange rates) in 2025.
An Anthropic spokesperson declined to comment on the above financial figures.
