Since ChatGPT became available to the public, OpenAI has boasted 250 million weekly active users. And its valuation has skyrocketed from $14 billion in 2021 to $157 billion in 2024.
The investment round comes after high profile executives recently left the company. This includes Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati, who briefly served as CEO when the board fired Sam Altman before they brought him back four days later.
Reuters reported in September that the $157 billion valuation “hinges” on changing OpenAI’s corporate structure. This means the nonprofit would no longer be in control, instead the company would be run with a for-profit mindset, and Altman would get a stake in the company that could be worth $10.5 billion.
