Anthropic to Spend Millions on Executive Security

Anthropic plans to spend $2.75 million on personal security for its head, Dario Amodei — more than four times his annual salary.

According to documents filed by the company in preparation for an IPO, Amodei earned $654,000 in 2025. Meanwhile, securing the safety of his sister, Daniela Amodei, Anthropic's president, cost another $1.29 million.

A specialized security firm conducted a risk assessment for both executives, after which the board of directors deemed the threats real.

Anthropic notes that the growing attention to the artificial intelligence sector indeed increases security risks for the company's employees.
