|
約翰?斯珀林 ??? 據(jù)報(bào)道約翰?斯珀林擁有12億美元的凈資產(chǎn)，他的財(cái)富來自阿波羅集團(tuán)（Apollo Group）的首次公開募股，而該集團(tuán)則擁有盈利性的教育機(jī)構(gòu)鳳凰城大學(xué)（University of Phoenix）。91歲的斯珀林此后組建了科學(xué)家團(tuán)隊(duì)，旨在減輕人類的病痛和對(duì)死亡的恐懼，使用一切手段加強(qiáng)人體生物機(jī)能，包括治療性克隆、干細(xì)胞醫(yī)學(xué)和基因工程。他還資助了克洛諾斯長(zhǎng)壽研究所（Kronos Longevity Research Institute），后者主要從事年齡相關(guān)疾病的臨床研究。 |
John Sperling ??? John Sperling, who has a reported net worth of $1.2 billion, made his fortune after the initial public offering of the Apollo Group (APOL), which owns the for-profit University of Phoenix. Sperling, 91, has since assembled a team of scientists who aim to alleviate human suffering and fear of death -- using everything from therapeutic cloning, stem cell medicine and genetic engineering to enhance human biology. He also funded the Kronos Longevity Research Institute, which does clinical research on age-related diseases. |
