Unveiling the Australian Spouse of a High-Powered Billionaire: Revealed is Their Surprising Financial Agenda
In a shocking turn of events, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI and a prominent figure in the tech industry, is facing a lawsuit filed by his sister, Ann Altman. The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri in January 2025, alleges that Sam sexually abused Ann regularly, starting when she was three years old and he was 12.
Ann Altman, who has had a difficult, estranged relationship with her family, claims that she has suffered a loss of enjoyment of a normal life as a consequence of her emotional injuries. The lawsuit seeks over $75,000 in damages and claims abuse that spans many years.
Sam Altman and his family—including his mother Connie and his younger brothers Max and Jack—have publicly denied these allegations, calling them "utterly untrue" in a joint statement. Despite the allegations, Sam has continued to hold prominent positions in the tech industry. He started a venture capital investment fund with the money he received from selling his social-mapping company Loopt for $42 million in 2012. He later became the CEO of Y Combinator and then OpenAI.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, was already worth $123.8 billion when Sam joined, and its value has now risen to an estimated $464 billion. Sam announced his marriage to Oliver Mulherin, an Australian software engineer, in a private ceremony in Hawaii in early 2024.
It is important to note that Missouri state law has a statute of limitations for child sexual abuse claims until the alleged victim is 31 years old. Ann Altman's allegations span from 1997 to 2006, making them within the legal timeframe.
Throughout the years, Ann has made increasingly extreme allegations against her family, including withholding her share of their late father Jerry's 401k funds, hacking her WiFi, and shadowbanning her from various social media outlets. In recent years, Ann has financially supported herself by doing sex work, including an OnlyFans site.
The case is currently making its way through the legal system, with a jury trial expected to determine the outcome. The tech industry and the public await the verdict with interest, as this case has raised important questions about power, privilege, and the impact of childhood trauma.
