(Photo: Reuters)Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s wife, Cami Clark, once sought investment from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for Eddice, a “revolutionary porn company” she co-founded and described as a women-focused “luxury porn” venture, according to The Wall Street Journal and emails from the Epstein files.Clark was introduced to Epstein in March 2011 by literary agent John Brockman, who suggested a dinner with Clark and her business partner, Michelle Capocefalo. Emails in the Epstein files show Brockman telling Epstein that he “should connect for dinner” with the two women.The introduction came years after Epstein had pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution and registered as a sex offender.Clark and Capocefalo had launched Eddice as a venture aimed at producing more sophisticated, women-oriented adult entertainment. They described it as “intellectually promiscuous,” with content reportedly including titles such as “Lady Porn Day” and “Orgasm, Inc.” CAMI CLARK’S BUSINESS PITCHES TO EPSTEINAbout a year later, Clark approached Epstein seeking an investment in Eddice. "We would love to have dinner with you this evening," Clark replied to the introductory email.The following day, she sent Epstein the company’s funding requirements and wrote, "It was FANTASTIC meeting you last night!" A few days later, she followed up by sending him the script and treatment for the first four films planned by the company, suggesting that he and "the ladies" might enjoy the content.In the email, she wrote, "Jeffrey! We thought you and the ladies might enjoy the script/treatment for our first 4 films, American Girl in Paris. A little nsfw."A year later, in March, Clark asked Epstein whether he would be interested in investing in her business and that of a colleague. There is no indication that he provided any funding. In a separate email, Epstein declined, writing, "Can't do TV sex."In July 2012, Clark also invited Epstein to a housewarming party, though the emails do not indicate that the two met in person again.In 2013, Epstein reportedly received a LinkedIn message suggesting he congratulate Clark on becoming CEO of “Female Algorithm Technologies.”Online traces of the company included a Tumblr account featuring photos of nude women, a picture of Steve Jobs and mottos such as “Great Minds F- Each Other” and “Let’s Make Lots of Money,” according to The Wall Street Journal.WHO IS CAMI CLARK?Clark has largely kept a low profile, with little publicly available information about her despite her relationship with Amodei. The Journal reported that efforts have been made to remove references to her from the internet. She married the Anthropic chief in 2022.Google searches for “Dario Amodei’s wife” often return a photo of his sister, Daniela Amodei, who helps run Anthropic. Even Anthropic’s AI chatbot Claude has told users that Amodei’s marital status is “not clearly confirmed.”Before dating Amodei, Clark was in a relationship with Google co-founder Eric Schmidt for about three years. Little is publicly known about their relationship, but the two appear to have remained on good terms.After Clark began dating Amodei in 2014, she introduced him to Schmidt. Schmidt later visited the couple at their San Francisco apartment in 2018 and went on to become one of Anthropic’s key early investors when the company was getting off the ground in 2021.Although Clark does not officially hold a role at Anthropic, the Journal reported that she has become an influential adviser to Amodei, accompanying him to major gatherings and helping him navigate relationships with investors, business leaders and other influential figures.Her involvement has become more notable as Anthropic has rapidly expanded and eyes a potential public listing that could value the artificial intelligence company at more than $2 trillion.Despite her proximity to one of the world’s most prominent AI companies, Clark has maintained a relatively low public profile.- EndsPublished By: Shipra ParasharPublished On: Aug 16, 2026 09:43 IST
