The co -founder and executive director of Penai, Sam Altman, sells his house in Hawaii for 49 million dollars, according to a source close to the matter. Public records show that the 10 rooms mansion in front of the sea on the Grande Island of Hawaii was put on sale approximately two weeks ago. The announcement promotes “exceptional privacy” and “advanced security systems that guarantee tranquility and discretion.”
“It is the most incredible property I’ve seen in my career,” said Brian Axelrod, Sotheby’s real estate agent, who put it on sale. The property, built in 2011 by Reus Architects, has a five -bedroom guest house, a movie theater and ten bathrooms, according to the announcement. Axelrod refused to comment how many people have visited the property or at what stage of the sales process it is.
An Openai representative did not respond immediately to a request for comments or confirm that the property belongs to Altman. It is owned by Big Surf LLC, which was previously registered in the house of Altman in San Francisco, object of a widely disseminated lawsuit in which Altman described the property as “lemon”. Big Surf is currently registered in a direction in Greenville, South Carolina, linked to the Altman ranch in the Napa Valley, to its Hydrazine risk capital funds and, according to Real Deal, to a LLC that acquired three lands closer to its home in San Francisco in January.
The Big Surf administrator, which appears in her annual statement, is Jennifer Serralta, Altman cousin. In her LinkedIn profile, she appears as director of operations of a family office; His name has appeared in several other limited liability companies (LLC) linked to Altman. Serralta declined to comment.

Altman bought the property, with panoramic views to Kailua Bay, the Pacific Ocean and a private sports port, for 43 million dollars in 2021. For that same time, Altman also disbursed 27 million dollars for his house in San Francisco and 16 million for his 950 acres ranch in Napa. It is likely that money does not come from OpenAI – one of the most valuable private companies in the world, in which Altman has affirmed that his participation is “insignificant” – but from his network of angels investors who have made him reach a fortune of 2,000 million dollars, according to estimates forbes .
It is not clear what Altman will do, if he does something, with the profits of the sale, which occurs when, as reported, OpenAi is selling employee shares worth 10.3 billion dollars; The transaction could value the company at more than 500,000 million dollars. If what Altman has said about his participation in Openai is true, he will not be part of that transaction. However, once Altman sells, assuming that he does not buy another property in Hawaii with the profits, the island will have a multi -million dollar landowner less.
