Key Takeaways

In Brief

Sam Altman is headed to the Hamptons, according to Puck. Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly sending invites for a “private, off-the-record” dinner honoring the tech mogul on August 29th at her home out East.

Paltrow is an actress and founder of the wellness brand Goop. But she’s also a noted investor through her Kinship Ventures, which she launched in 2021 alongside Moj Mahdara. In 2023, reports said the firm was raising a $75 million fund, though it remains unclear whether it has closed. Kinship is also an investor in OpenAI (per SEC filings, her investment in OpenAI dates back to 2023) and other AI companies, including the vibe coding tool Lovable and the AI-powered marketing platform Nectar Social.

We’ve reached out to Goop and OpenAI for comment. Over the past few years, Paltrow has become more outspoken about AI — she’s spoken about how she uses the tools to run her company, and her Goop Kitchen has signed a lease for the ground floor of Anthropic’s San Francisco HQ. Earlier this year, OpenAI hired Charles Porch, whom Vanity Fair called the “celebrity whisperer.”
