According to Bloomberg, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt invested tens of millions of dollars in the company's Series D financing in 2021 and now holds approximately 1% of the shares in this artificial intelligence lab. If we consider the external valuation of the company at up to $2 trillion, this investment could add as much as $20 billion to his net assets.

According to Bloomberg, the wealth of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt ( Eric Schmidt ) may grow even further.

Bloomberg reported that Schmidt participated in the Series A financing of the leading artificial intelligence lab Anthropic in 2021, investing tens of millions of dollars, and currently holds approximately 1% of the company's shares. Data from PitchBook shows that the valuation of Anthropic at that time was 461 million US dollars.

If Bloomberg's estimates are accurate, then compared to the approximately 2% stake held by Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dalio Amodei (Dario Amodei), Schmidt's stake is quite substantial. There is a general expectation in the outside world that Anthropic will go public before the end of this year, with the market's highest valuation for it reaching $2 trillion. Based on this valuation, Schmidt's net assets could increase by up to $20 billion. Bloomberg's current estimate for its net assets is $57.5 billion.

Since stepping down as Google's CEO in 2011, Schmidt has been active in the field of tech investment. He has deployed capital through several entities, including Tomorrow Ventures, Innovation Endeavors Management, as well as his family office Hillspire. In addition to Anthropic, his other investments in artificial intelligence also include Mistral, General Intuition, and Reflection AI.

Neither Schmidt nor Anthropic immediately responded to requests for comments.

Amazon is spending billions of dollars on NVIDIA AI systems, but some devices still cannot be powered on.
According to an internal email cited by Business Insider, under the new Early Rack Receipt process, AWS is expected to receive approximately $5 billion worth of NVIDIA GB300 server racks at its facilities in the United States before the final deployment, and an additional $3 billion worth of racks will be received each month for the coming months. Due to insufficient power supply at some data centers, the completed equipment is temporarily stored in transit warehouses, which Amazon describes as a standard practice.
