AI Summary

Therapists in the Bay Area say a new wave of “sudden wealth syndrome” is emerging among AI‑related multimillionaires. Menlo Ventures partner Deedy Das estimated on X that roughly 10,000 employees at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia and Meta, along with company founders, have amassed fortunes exceeding $20 million in the past five years. Many of those newly wealthy report a “profound lack of purpose,” echoing the feelings first identified by therapists during the 1990s dot‑com boom. The term is being revived to describe the isolation and guilt these AI billionaires experience.
