Many people have asked me if Sam Altman owns 0% of OpenAI, how could he afford to invest and fund projects the way he does? 1) Note on Early Exit: 
Sam co-founded a startup called Loopt in college. It wasn’t a massive success, but it sold for $43.4

Loopt exit + angel investing = classic Silicon Valley wealth snowball. Invest $50k here, $100k there, and if even one Airbnb pops off, you’re basically financially free for life.
