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

Honestly, Sam Altman’s career is a masterclass in playing the long game. He didn’t just chase one unicorn, he built influence, trust, and capital over a decade. Owning equity isn’t the only way to build real wealth.
