[Anthropic IPO May Create 1,200 Millionaire Employees] BlockBeats reported on November 10th, citing The Observer, that financial platform Hill estimated Anthropic's potential millionaires based on employee equity distributions across different departments. The combined figures, based on Anthropic's S-1 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, show that approximately 4,250 of its 5,300 employees are expected to become millionaires due to the IPO, representing 80% of its workforce. This figure is not from official statistics. In comparison, SpaceX's IPO in June of this year created over 4,400 current and former employees who became millionaires, even though the company had approximately 22,000 employees at the time. Anthropic's proportion of millionaires is significantly higher. The seven co-founders are not included in this calculation. Since Anthropic's seven co-founders were already billionaires before the IPO, they are not counted in the new millionaire count. According to Forbes estimates, each of the seven founders holds approximately 1.4% of the company's shares. Based on Hill's further estimates of employee stock ownership and potential gains, approximately 50 early employees and management members are expected to gain over $100 million in wealth post-IPO. This is primarily due to equity incentives they received as "founding employees." These employees represent less than 1% of the company's total workforce, and joined Anthropic before the company had proven its commercial value. Secondly, approximately 1,200 highly skilled employees and researchers are expected to accumulate over $10 million in wealth through equity incentives included in their compensation packages, representing about a quarter of the total workforce. In addition, approximately 3,000 employees with relatively lower compensation levels are also expected to see their stock holdings valued at over $1 million post-IPO. All these figures are based on a hypothetical valuation of $1.5 trillion for the company. [Original Link]
