Audubon Man Among 3 Montco, 17 PA Billionaires In 2021: Forbes
The world's richest got richer in a turbid 2020 that saw wealth become even more concentrated in the hands of the few.
AUDUBON, PA — An Audubon man is among three Montgomery County residents, and 17 across Pennsylvania, who were named to Forbes 2021 list of the world's billionaires. The world's richest got significantly richer across the board in a turbid 2020, while millions suffered and lost employment due to the pandemic.
Audubon's David Paul, whose Globus Medical markets spine implants, has a net worth of about $1.6 billion, Forbes said.
He was joined on the list in Montgomery County by Lower Merion residents Jeffrey Lurie (owner of the Eagles) and Alan Miller (also in the healthcare industry).
