In this line, data obtained by Finbold indicates that OpenAI achieved a significant financial milestone in the full year of 2023, surpassing the $1 billion mark for the first time and reaching a remarkable $1.6 billion in revenue. This figure represents a staggering year-over-year (YoY) increase of 700%, or eight times, soaring from the $200 million recorded in 2022.
In 2021, the company reported revenues amounting to $34 million. Since the commencement of revenue recording, 2020 marked the lowest figure at $3.48 million, a factor attributable to the pandemic’s effects. OpenAI’s initial recorded revenue was in 2016 at $13.81 million.

“The recorded revenues highlight OpenAI’s strategic consolidation of its position in the market, and its rise can be viewed as an extraordinary feat. OpenAI’s substantial increase in revenue is closely tied to the success of the company’s product, ChatGPT, in the generative AI landscape.
