The AI boom is creating an unprecedented wealth divide in the tech industry, especially in San Francisco. Menlo Ventures partner Deedy Das highlighted the growing gap in outcomes, noting that approximately 10,000 individuals—mostly founders and employees at companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, and others—have amassed retirement-level wealth exceeding $20 million.
