The answer is simple: the single most valuable asset at OpenAI appears to be Altman bullshitting about science fiction AI, and nothing else. When he disappear, value plumetted, partners evaporated, clients stopped paying, competitors rushed to hire him, etc. It's like Elon 'Electric Jesus' Musk, without him, they're just selling shitty cars nobody quite like. So he can get paid more than all profit Tesla ever made, because without him, there would be 0 profit anyway. Talk to Tesla owners: they are surprised by how shit the car is, but they feel like mini Elons. That's probably similar at OpenAI ?
