On a personal level it will work out for him just fine. All he has to do is siphon off a fraction of that money to himself and/or an entity that he controls.
He's like Elon Musk in that respect: always doubling the bet on the next round, it is a real life Martingale these guys are playing with society on the hook for the downside.
How would he siphon off? He has no stake in OpenAI. And any other stake must be public. Or are you suggesting something more shady?
Elon is the complete opposite of martingale. He has helped produce value beyond just bets. Spacex, Tesla and so on.
