I actually thought the personal security expenses for Dario or someone else at that level of AI leadership will be much larger.

Fortune: Anthropic’s S-1 shows the company spent $2.75M on Dario Amodei’s personal security in 2025, more than 4 times his $654,167 salary and more than 15% of his $17.96M total pay.

The protection extended to president Daniela Amodei at $1.29M, and Dario’s security program also covered $97,055 in private-aircraft travel.

By big-tech standards the bill is moderate, at roughly one-eighth of Meta’s $22.5M for Mark Zuckerberg, yet it is nearly 7 times the $401,336 median for software and services CEOs.
