George Yancopoulos (L) and Len Schleifer (Regeneron)

Re­gen­eron's Schleifer, Yan­copou­los set their com­pa­ny's am­bi­tions sky high with $1.4B on the ta­ble in per­for­mance awards

One of the true suc­cess sto­ries in bio­phar­ma, New York’s Re­gen­eron has built a $51 bil­lion mar­ket cap un­der the watch­ful eyes of co-founders and 32-year vet­er­ans Len Schleifer and George Yan­copou­los. That suc­cess has made both men wealthy, even as Re­gen­eron’s in­vestor re­turns have flagged in re­cent years.

Re­gen­eron’s am­bi­tions are still sky high mov­ing ahead — and just how much the com­pa­ny can cap­i­tal­ize on that vi­sion could spell enor­mous pay­days for its founders.
