Crypto billionaire Michael Saylor says he made $15 billion last year with ChatGPT—and has one rule: ‘Don’t try to outwork the robots’

Billionaire Michael Saylor has claimed that he made $15 billion last year through the use of ChatGPT, the AI chatbot developed by OpenAI. Saylor discussed his success in a recent interview with podcaster Steven Bartlett, where he offered advice to those seeking to build a legacy similar to that of figures like Michael Jackson or Elon Musk.

According to Saylor, the key to achieving such success is to avoid the futile effort of competing with AI machines and instead learn to leverage them to their fullest potential. He stressed that entrepreneurs should not aim to automate existing tasks, but rather to ask the AI to perform tasks previously unseen, thus enabling them to uncover "magic opportunities."

Saylor’s own journey began with the software firm he founded in 1989, which later shifted its focus to Bitcoin after exploring traditional avenues of capital raising. His decision to adopt Bitcoin as a significant part of his company's treasury strategy led to the successful IPO and subsequent generation of the $15 billion, which he directly attributed to the power of AI.

Despite the high risks associated with his strategy, Saylor remains steadfast in his belief that the success of such ventures often hinges on the willingness to endure setbacks and adapt accordingly.
