The discovery and rollout of live-saving COVID-19 vaccines worldwide have spawned nine new billionaires, according to NGOs. The new billionaires include five people associated with Moderna and three from CanSino Biologics, a Chinese vaccine company. Between them, the nine new billionaires have a combined net wealth of $19.3 billion (€15.8 billion), enough to fully vaccinate all people in low-income countries 1.3 times, the People s Vaccine, which comprises nine NGOs including Amnesty International, Oxfam and UNAIDS, said in a statement.
