OpenAI Just Raised $110 Billion and That Number Is Not a Typo
The largest private funding round in human history just closed, with Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank each writing checks so big they'd make your head spin.
OpenAI just closed the biggest private funding round ever. Not the biggest in AI. Not the biggest in tech. The biggest, period. $110 billion dollars at a valuation of $730 billion.
To put that in perspective, that single round is more money than the entire GDP of Morocco. It's more than what most countries spend on their military in a year.
So who wrote the checks? Amazon led with a jaw-dropping $50 billion. Nvidia threw in $30 billion. SoftBank matched with another $30 billion. And the round isn't even closed yet because more investors are still lining up.
But this isn't just about money. Each investor is getting something back. Amazon gets OpenAI's models baked into its cloud platform. Nvidia is dedicating 3 gigawatts of computing power just for running OpenAI's systems. That's roughly enough electricity to power a small city.
OpenAI now serves over 900 million people every week and January and February 2026 were its biggest months ever for new subscribers. At its current valuation, it's worth more than almost every publicly traded company on Earth.
February 2026 alone saw over $195 billion in AI-related investment, making it the most consequential month in the history of venture finance.
