  "account": "In 2025, AI company Anthropic spent $2.75 million on security measures to protect cofounder and CEO Dario Amodei, more than quadruple his $654,167 base salary. This expenditure accounted for over 15% of Amodei's total compensation of $17.96 million, which included stock and option awards. In addition, Anthropic allocated $1.29 million to secure his sister, Daniela Amodei, who serves as president and cofounder, as well as $97,055 for Dario's private-aircraft travel, which was deemed necessary under their security program. Anthropic has maintained constant security since 2024, according to The Wall Street Journal. The board determined in 2025 that enhanced protection was necessary due to security studies, increased media attention, and genuine business-related security concerns.",
