Top 20 Molecular Millionaires
Some people say there is no money in pursuing science. Genetic Engineering News' list of millionaires who made it big, thanks to biotechnology, proves that wrong. This is an annual listing of doctoral-degree-holding individuals who have made millions through ownership of biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks.
"Scientists and commerce can go very well together," says John Sterling, Editor-in-Chief of GEN. "And their careers have staying power, despite the ups and downs that the biotech and pharmaceutical industries regularly experience. For scientists or would-be scientists, those who choose to pursue biotech careers can wind up fabulously wealthy."
Heading of this year's pack is Genentech's Chairman and CEO, Dr. Arthur Levinson (photo). Here's the full list, ranked according to their biotech-derived riches:
