最新公布的纳税申报文件显示,OpenAI首席执行官萨姆•奥尔特曼去年的薪酬仅为76,001美元,比2022年的73,546美元略有增加。
尽管奥尔特曼的个人净资产至少为20亿美元,但他此前表示,其薪酬仅为“覆盖最低医疗保险的水平”,并多次声明他不持有OpenAI的股权。然而,据彭博社报道,OpenAI正考虑转型为营利性企业,并讨论给予奥尔特曼一定的股权。OpenAI总部位于旧金山。
美国非营利组织每年需向国税局提交的申报文件中披露了奥尔特曼的工资。2023年的信息披露覆盖了OpenAI及监督该公司的非营利组织的动荡时期。2023年年初,OpenAI的聊天机器人ChatGPT迅速走红;年末,奥尔特曼因与董事会意见不合而短暂离职。
申报文件显示,OpenAI联合创始人兼前首席科学家伊利亚·苏茨克维在2023年的薪酬为322,201美元,这是文件所披露的高管中的最高薪酬。苏茨克维在奥尔特曼被解职事件中扮演了关键角色,并于今年5月从公司离职。Twitch联合创始人埃米特·希尔在萨姆·奥尔特曼(Sam Altman)被解职期间担任临时首席执行官,薪酬为3,720美元。尽管希尔的任期似乎仅持续了约三天,但文件显示他的薪酬从11月19日到11月29日计算,平均每天338.18美元,包括周末。
然而,有些高管的总薪酬可能远高于所披露的数字。纳税申报文件未包含OpenAI高管可能获得的任何基于股权的报酬,而随着公司估值的飙升,这部分报酬可能相当可观。此外,文件也未披露风险投资者对OpenAI营利性实体的外部投资情况。
由于报告滞后以及相关企业众多,外界对OpenAI的财务状况了解有限。该非营利组织列出了多个合伙公司和关联实体,包括负责员工和投资者股权的Aestas有限责任公司。
文件显示,OpenAI的非营利组织在2023年获得了500万美元的公众捐款,但未披露资金来源。截至2023年底,该非营利组织的净资产超过2,100万美元。相比之下,OpenAI在2024年10月融资66亿美元,用于继续开发强大的人工智能产品。
文件显示,OpenAI 去年扩展了其慈善捐助的范围,不再局限于与奥尔特曼关联的全民基本收入项目。它资助了纽约大学(New York University)的伦理与新闻学研究项目,并支持亚特兰大非营利组织 Operation Hope 研究人工智能在经济领域的机会。
据OpenAI透露,该公司还提供资金,支持“建立民主程序,用于决定人工智能系统应遵循的规则”的相关实验。这些资助对象包括哈佛学院(Harvard College)、华盛顿大学(University of Washington)、密歇根大学(University of Michigan)等美国机构,以及一位东亚地区的受赠者。
OpenAI 发言人在声明中表示:“作为公司章程的一部分,我们致力于与全球研究和政策机构合作,共同应对通用人工智能带来的挑战,并通过增加资助支持实现这一目标。”(财富中文网)

OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman received a modest $76,001 in compensation last year, up slightly from $73,546 in 2022, a newly released tax filing shows.
Altman, who is worth at least $2 billion, has previously said he gets paid “whatever the minimum for health insurance is.” He has also repeatedly said he does not own equity in OpenAI. However, the San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup has discussed giving him a stake as part of a possible shift to becoming a for-profit business, Bloomberg reported.
Altman’s paycheck was included in a filing that US-based nonprofits are required to submit annually to the Internal Revenue Service. The 2023 disclosure covers a tumultuous period for OpenAI and the nonprofit that oversees it. The year started with the skyrocketing popularity of OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT and ended with Altman’s brief ouster after clashing with the board.
OpenAI’s co-founder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who played a key role in firing Altman and left the company in May, received $322,201 in 2023, making him one of the highest paid officers listed on the form. Emmett Shear, the co-founder of Twitch who served as interim CEO during Altman’s ouster, was paid $3,720, according to the filing. Though Shear’s tenure appeared to last for about three days, the filing said he was paid from Nov. 19 to Nov. 29, which would be $338.18 per day, including weekends.
The total compensation could be much higher for some executives, however. The tax filing does not include any equity-based compensation that OpenAI’s named officers may have received as the company’s valuation has soared. It also doesn’t disclose any outside investment from venture capitalists into OpenAI’s for-profit entities.
There is only limited visibility into OpenAI’s financials given the lag in reporting and the number of companies that are related to its business. The nonprofit lists several partnership companies and related entities, including Aestas LLC, which oversees employee and investor equity.
According to the filing, OpenAI’s nonprofit received $5 million in public contributions in 2023, but the source of the funding wasn’t disclosed. The nonprofit ended 2023 with net assets of more than $21 million — a tiny sum compared to the $6.6 billion the company raised in October to support its efforts to keep building powerful AI products.
Last year, OpenAI expanded its charitable giving beyond universal basic income projects linked to Altman, according to the filing. It funded an ethics and journalism grant at New York University as well as research into AI economic opportunity through Atlanta-based nonprofit Operation Hope.
OpenAI also provided financial support for experiments “in setting up a democratic process for deciding what rules AI systems should follow,” the company said. The grants went to US institutions such as Harvard College, the University of Washington and the University of Michigan, along with a recipient in East Asia.
“As part of our charter, we’re committed to collaborating globally with research and policy institutions to address AGI’s challenges, and increased grants support this mission,” an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement.
