Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's wife Cami Clark once pitched Jeffrey Epstein to fund her porn startup and now informally advises the AI lab.

A Wall Street Journal report, republished by the New York Post, details the previously low-profile past of Cami Clark, wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Before marrying Amodei in 2022, Clark co-founded a 'luxury porn' startup called Eddice and in 2012 unsuccessfully pitched Jeffrey Epstein for investment, who declined with 'Can't do sex TV.' Clark previously dated Google co-founder Eric Schmidt for about three years and later introduced him to Amodei; Schmidt became one of Anthropic's key early investors in 2021. Though Clark holds no official role at Anthropic, she reportedly acts as Amodei's strategic adviser and networker as the company moves toward a public listing that could top $2 trillion this fall.
