Boston billionaires, historic figures land on Forbes' 'self-made' lists
"Noubar Afeyan, ranked No. 27, is the founder and CEO of Flagship Pioneering and chairman of Moderna. He fled the Lebanese Civil War and has a net worth of $1.9 billion."
"Bill Cummings, ranked No. 115, founded Cummings Properties in 1970, creating a major commercial real estate firm. He is also a significant philanthropist through the Cummings Foundation."
Forbes released two lists highlighting self-made Americans, ranking 250 individuals and 250 historical figures. The rankings are based on a 'Self-Made Score' measuring financial success, obstacles overcome, and long-term impact. Three Boston-area billionaires made the list: Noubar Afeyan, Bill Cummings, and Herb Chambers. Historical figures with Boston ties include Benjamin Franklin and Babe Ruth. The rankings utilized over a century of archives, reporter input, AI tools, and expert judges to determine scores.
