There are no authoritative public records that provide a full birth date, birth year, or birthplace for Anna Brockman, and she has not been the subject of a standalone profile in major national outlets that lists those details.

Gregory “Greg” Brockman, Anna Brockman’s husband, was born on November 29, 1987, in Thompson, North Dakota. He left the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to join Stripe in 2010 and became Stripe’s chief technology officer by 2013.

He was one of the founders of OpenAI in 2015 and later served as the organization’s president. Greg Brockman’s public biographical entry is available on Wikipedia. 

The two were married in November 2019 in a civil ceremony held at the OpenAI offices.

The report of the event describes Ilya Sutskever, a co-founder of OpenAI, as having officiated the ceremony, noting an unconventional blend of workplace and personal life at the company.

Business Insider and multiple contemporaneous pieces refer to a wedding held at the OpenAI office in 2019.

Anna Brockman’s public social media presence is limited. There is sparse public documentation of Anna Brockman’s education and employment history in high quality national outlets.

A LinkedIn entry under the name Anna J. Brockman exists and lists qualifications and work related to nervous system regulation, metabolic health and performance.

That profile states professional interests and mentions credentials consistent with wellness and health oriented work, but it does not provide the kind of detailed public resume or earnings disclosure that would support a precise net worth estimate.

LinkedIn entries and personal social accounts alone do not constitute comprehensive verification for a person’s biography, so we are not including that here.

Anna Brockman’s health has been referenced publicly by Greg Brockman in social posts and in remarks he made at public events.

In a post on the platform X, Greg Brockman wrote:

"My wife was recently diagnosed with a genetic disorder called Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS)."

That message explained that diagnosing and managing her condition involved extended interaction with the medical system. 

In a separate public post, Greg Brockman wrote about both conditions and commented on their effects when raising a health awareness point:

"Her health journey has been intricate, as she has Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)."

Both statements are public posts authored by Greg Brockman and have been cited in coverage of his public remarks about healthcare and technology.

Reporting on the events at OpenAI in November 2023, which culminated in a rapid leadership crisis at the company, mentions Anna Brockman in the context of an emotional exchange that took place during the dispute over the removal of Sam Altman as CEO.

Business Insider reported that Anna Brockman “cried and asked Ilya Sutskever to change his mind,” citing the Wall Street Journal as a source for the detail.

The Business Insider item echoed the reporting that a personal appeal influenced deliberations among senior people at the company during the crisis of that period.

Anna Brockman and Greg Brockman have together appeared in public and private contexts related to technology policy.

Reporting from August 2025 identified Greg Brockman and his wife Anna as contributors to a pro-AI political action committee called Leading the Future, a group organized to advocate around AI policy and midterm elections.

The Economic Times reported that both Greg Brockman and his wife were listed among backers of that network.

That coverage lists Anna Brockman as a backer alongside Greg Brockman, indicating joint involvement in political organizing connected to the technology sector.

Public estimates of personal net worth are available for Greg Brockman in various outlets and range widely depending on the date and methodology of the estimate.

A 2025 profile in Fortune that listed attendees at a political fundraising dinner included a short reference to Greg Brockman and a numeric estimate for his wealth used in that context. That same Fortune list referenced Anna Brockman as present.

Public references to Greg Brockman’s net worth vary by outlet and have changed over time, with most standing at $45 million, while Anna Brockman does not appear in mainstream financial filings or authoritative wealth listings that would provide a verifiable, independently reported net worth.

There is no single reliable public disclosure of Anna Brockman’s personal net worth in a major reporting that can be cited as definitive; however, some reports suggest that her net worth stands at something around $1M to $5M in estimates.

Sources that attempt to compile biographical dossiers on lesser-known public figures offer speculative net worth estimates for Anna Brockman, but those sources do not provide underlying disclosures or verifiable financial records and should not be treated as authoritative.

The public record for Anna Brockman is primarily comprised of social media posts, the public statements of her husband, and reporting that references her in connection with events at OpenAI or with joint political activity.

Those items together form the basis for what is publicly known about her. The substance and dates of Greg Brockman’s public posts remain primary source material for her health disclosures and for material in which she is specifically named.

Business Insider reported, quoting their summary of the Wall Street Journal:

"Ilya Sutskever's U turn on ousting Sam Altman came after Greg Brockman's wife cried and asked him to change his mind: WSJ."

NOTE: That line appears in Business Insider’s coverage and is reproduced here as quoted text from that article.

The available record does not disclose Anna Brockman’s date of birth, birth year, or place of birth in major media coverage or public government filings, so we will update this information as soon as we can get it from any trusted source.
