OpenAI Hits $10B Revenue Run Rate — Just 2.5 Years After ChatGPT Launch!

 

From Zero to $10 Billion — in Just Over 2 Years.
OpenAI has officially crossed $10 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR), nearly doubling from $5.5B last year, according to CNBC.

What’s fueling this explosive growth?

  • 500M+ weekly active users

  • 3M+ paying business customers

  • Revenue from ChatGPT consumer + business products

  • Strong API adoption across industries

But it’s not all smooth sailing.
OpenAI is still burning billions annually on:

  • Infrastructure for cutting-edge AI

  • Recruiting elite AI talent

  • Scaling supercomputing capacity

Target by 2029: A jaw-dropping $125 billion in revenue.
That would put OpenAI on par with tech giants — in just a few short years.

While profitability hasn’t been disclosed, this milestone shows how fast AI is turning into one of the biggest businesses on the planet.

The AI race is no longer coming — it's here. OpenAI is leading, and everyone else is playing catch-up.
