The business magazine recently released its 35th annual list of billionaires, which featured a record-breaking 2,755 names. The life sciences industry was well-represented, with a handful of names featured in the top 100. Here’s a look at the top 10 billionaires including Cyrus Poonawalla from India.

1. Jiang Rensheng and family: Jiang Rensheng came in at No. 69 on the Forbes list with a net worth of $24.4 billion. Rensheng serves as chairman of Chongqing ZFSW Biological Products.

2. Li Xiting: Although Li Xiting sits in spot No. 82 on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people, he holds the title of Singapore’s richest person with a whopping net worth of $21.5 billion. Xiting is founder and chairman of medical device supplier Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics.

3. Zhong Huijuan: Zhong Huijuan is the richest woman in the life sciences industry, landing in spot No. 89 on the Forbes list with a net worth of $19.7 billion. Huijuan chairs Chinese drugmaker Hansoh Pharmaceutical.

4. Xu Hang: With a net worth of $19.5 billion, Xu Hang wound up in spot No. 92. Hang is co-founder and serves as non-executive director of medical device company Mindray Medical International.

5. Sun Piaoyang: Sun Piaoyang was the last life sciences billionaire to sneak into the top 100 on Forbes’ list, landing a few spots below his wife, Zhong Huijuan. Piaoyang ended up in spot No. 96 with a net worth of $18.9 billion. He became head of formerly state-led Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine in 1990.

6. Seo Jung-jin: Seo Jung-jin’s net worth of $14.2 billion put him in spot No. 145 on Forbes’ list of the world’s wealthiest people. Jung-jin cofounded biopharmaceutical company Celltrion.

7. Cyrus Poonawalla: Cyrus Poonawalla founded Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine maker. This accomplishment helped land him in spot No. 169 of the Forbes list with a net worth of $12.7 billion. The company produces over 1.5 billion vaccine doses each year.

8. Cen Junda: He technically fits in list because of his investments. Junda sits in spot No. 189 on the Forbes list with a net worth of $11.6 billion. A large part of his fortune stems from his shareholding in Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group.
