At least three people with a stake in the coronavirus vaccine race have just made a list of the top 400 richest people in America.
Moderna’s chairman Noubar Afeyan, one of the company’s founders along with board member Robert Langer, and early investor Timothy Springer each made their debut in this year’s tally produced by business magazine Forbes.
Despite the pandemic’s toll on many businesses, the 400 richest Americans this year are, together, 40% richer than last year’s ultrarich, making the cutoff to get on the list higher than ever, according to the publication. And the list featured the most new names it has had since 2007, many of them billionaires in finance, tech and health care.
