Anthropic's Dario Amodei Earns $18 Million in 2025

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, received a total compensation of $18 million in 2025, as disclosed in the company's initial public offering filing. This figure is lower than that of several top technology executives, including Sundar Pichai of Alphabet, who earned $10.9 million, and Andy Jassy of Amazon, who received $2.1 million.

In July, Amodei's annual salary was doubled to $1.4 million, a figure that, along with his sister Daniela Amodei's compensation of $16.4 million, primarily consisted of stock and option awards. Anthropic's board granted the Amodei siblings additional restricted stock units, some tied to their continued employment and others linked to the planned IPO.

Krishna Rao, Anthropic's Chief Financial Officer, earned $720,250 in 2025 and was granted options to purchase 1.4 million shares upon joining the company in 2024. Courtney Yu from Equilar noted that Amodei's compensation appears low for a company valued at $2 trillion, especially considering the potential dilution of wealth among the co-founders during the IPO.
