(NEW YORK DAILY NEWS) – Three people at the head of Moderna, the pharmaceutical and biotech company behind one of three approved COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., have made their debut on Forbes’ List of the 400 wealthiest people in America.
Thanks in part to the shot’s success, Moderna’s co-founder and current chairman Noubar Afeyan, co-founder and board member Robert Langer and investor Timothy Springer all nabbed coveted spots in the ranking of the nation’s most rich.
Ageyan landed in the 212th spot with a fortune of $5 billion, and Langer is at 222 with $4.9 billion. Springer, a Harvard Medical School professor who funneled money into the company early on, also made his way onto the list with an estimated net worth of $5.9 billion, putting him in the 176th spot.
