On the afternoon of January 11, Beijing time, according to the fashion blog website Popfiltr, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, a world-renowned artificial intelligence (AI) company and former president of Y Combinator, and his Australian-born programmer boyfriend Oliver Mulherin held a low-key wedding in Hawaii, USA on the 10th.
According to the report, Ollie then posted a related post through the private Instagram platform, saying that "married to my best friend and the love of my life." At present, well-known personalities, including Lauren Sanchez, the fiancée of Mason founder Jeff Bezos, have expressed their heartfelt wishes for this. It was reported that the wedding ceremony was very private, with only a few close family and friends in attendance, and the wedding ceremony was Altman's brother, Jack Altman.
Since Ollie has not appeared in public before, and Ultraman has not disclosed relevant information, this news has attracted attention on social media after it was announced.
As of press time, Sam Altman did not publicly respond to the authenticity of the above news.
According to the online pictures, Ultraman and Ollie were both wearing matching outfits, a white shirt, light beige pants and white sneakers, symbolizing a pure relationship.
Meanwhile, according to Business Insider, both Ultraman and Ollie want to have a baby as soon as possible. Previously, a person familiar with the matter saw the two appear together at the White House.
Separately, the British newspaper The Sun revealed more background information about Ollie.
Ollie studied at John Monash Science School in Australia from 2011 to 2013, studied at the University of Melbourne from 2014 to 2016 with a Bachelor of Computer Science, and worked as a Software Development Intern Engineer at Vital-Sim in Calgary, Canada around 2015.
From September 2017 to April 2018, he was a software developer at the IOTA Foundation in Melbourne, Australia, and was a co-founder of PROPL, and from April 2019 to May 2020, he worked at SPARK Neuro and Broadwing in New York.
From August 2020 to November 2022, Ollie worked as a software engineer at Meta AI's California headquarters. As of now, Ollie works as a software engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area.
According to foreign media reports, as of 2021, Ultraman has purchased more than $85 million worth of properties in the United States, including a previously unreported $43 million, 12-bedroom Hawaiian manor mansion located in Kailua-Kona on the island of Hawaii, adjacent to a national landmark, the royal temple rebuilt by King Kamehameha I of Hawaii.
Altman told The New Yorker magazine in 2016 that he owned a resort in Big Sur, Calif., where he could "fly" if a super-powered AI attack caused "countries to compete with nuclear weapons for scarce resources." He revealed that he had stockpiled guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water and gas masks provided by the IDF. At the same time, Altman also admitted to owning five cars, including two McLaren and an old Tesla. In addition, he revealed that he owns a 2013 Tesla Model S.
Although, according to IRS filings, Altman's annual salary as OpenAI's CEO is only $58,333, and his stake in the company is also very small. However, according to CB Insights, since 2010, Altman has invested in more than 100 companies in 13 years, including Stripe, Reddit and Instacart, and is a very active angel investor, involved in commercial flight, new energy and brain-computer interfaces.
In March 2023, according to the New York Times, Altman revealed that he and Ollie lived together on weekends in a house in San Francisco's Russian Hill. In September 2023, Altman told New York Magazine that he and Ollie wanted to have a baby soon, and that he himself enjoyed a large family environment.
In addition to Ultraman, Apple CEO Tim Cook is also gay and one of the well-known executives of publicly traded companies. In 2014, he wrote in Bloomberg Businessweek, "I want to make it clear that I am proud to be gay, and I think being gay is the best gift God has given me." ”
