In just 3 months, CoreWeave CEO, once a crypto-mining bro, becomes a deca-billionaire

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-09-04 08:12:18

CoreWeave co-founder and CEO Michael Intrator’s net worth has skyrocketed to about $10 billion in the three months since the AI firm went public, Bloomberg reports. His company’s debut was both the biggest tech IPO so far of 2025 — raising $1.5 billion — and somewhat of a clunker: Its founders had reportedly hoped to raise a lot more — up to $4 billion — and had to skinny their ambitions.

Often, chatting by voice is more convenient, more natural, and more fun than trying to converse through text prompts.
