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. |
