  "account": "Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, earned $18 million last year, placing him in the middle tier of compensation among top technology executives according to the company's IPO filing. This salary, primarily consisting of stock and options, is expected to increase significantly once Anthropic goes public. The company's IPO could value it at over $2 trillion, according to its prospectus. Anthropic's CEO and President, Dario and Daniela Amodei, both saw their salaries doubled to $1.4 million in July, with the bulk of their compensation coming from stock and options. Daniela Amodei's total compensation last year was $16.4 million. Anthropic's CFO, Krishna Rao, earned $720,250, and received options worth $385,285 in 2025. Anthropic's spokesperson declined to comment on these figures. The rise in CEO pay in the US has outpaced gains for the average worker, raising concerns among critics.",
