Lori Huang were the darlings of the SF Opera. On election night, the couple, who in 2025 made a $5 million-per-year commitment to the opera, hosted a private showing of the current offering, “The Marriage of Figaro,” for some of the biggest names in AI. According to The New York Times (opens in new tab), attendees included Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Thrive Capital boss Josh Kushner, and Sarah Guo of Conviction, who tweeted a pic of the event swag (opens in new tab): fortune cookies printed with maxims about AI.
The Details
Also present was Huang’s daughter Madison, who helped organize several events her family hosted with the opera last year. It was a grand evening, complete with Jensen wearing his signature leather jacket.
