Bob Duggan 1944年出生,曾就读加州大学圣巴巴拉分校,后来为了躲避被征召去越南战场服兵役,大四时退学又去 UCLA 读了两年书。他很早就开始各种生意的创业,六十岁的时候身价还只有六千五百万美元。他的儿子 26岁的时候不幸因脑癌去世,因此对医药行业产生兴趣。2004年开始累积投入五千万美元购买 Pharmacyclics 股票,此公司 2015年被 AbbVie 收购,Duggan 最初的投入回报七十倍。Duggan 2020年开始担任 Summit Therapeutics ceo, 当时股价只有一点五美元,过去一年涨了超过十倍,现在已经突破二十美元。福布斯估计 Duggan 现在身价大约 160亿美元,换句话说,他的 99.5%的财富是六十岁之后挣的。财富随着本金,经验和网络的积累,有可能越滚越大,达到当初难以想象的高度。他的故事可以参见 Nathan Vardi 的 2023年的书,“For blood and money"
