Following an introductory dinner, Clark sent Epstein project treatments and funding requirements, writing that he might enjoy the material with "the ladies." Despite her efforts, there is no evidence of financial support. Epstein eventually declined the pitch, noting in an email exchange that he "can’t do TV sex." The correspondence, surfacing from the Epstein files, highlights a period of networking prior to Clark’s marriage to Amodei in 2022.
While Clark holds no formal title at Anthropic, her proximity to the company’s leadership remains significant. Described as a sounding board for her husband, she frequently attends high-profile summits and investor conferences alongside him. Her influence is noted by observers, particularly regarding her role in connecting Amodei to former Google executive Eric Schmidt. That introduction paved the way for Schmidt to become a primary investor during Anthropic’s 2021 Series A funding round, a critical milestone for the artificial intelligence firm.
