Seymour and Diwan were both wealthy before NNVC began
at least by my standards. By yours, perhaps not. If so I envy the three of you then.

This may shock you, but there are motivations beyond money and what it can buy. Seymour and Diwan set out to change the face of medicine in the field of viral infections. I for one am glad they tried, even if they failed, because the next effort along these lines will have benefited from their errors.

You may want to read up on the Israeli company Vecoy. They had a similar approach and....well you can read about it if you wish.

Wrong. Both had amassed significant wealth. In the 1990s Diwan did very well as a programming consultant. Those 100s of thousands of dollars paid for the lab and nanomicelle development. This was in addition to his wife's large corporate salary.

Seymour already owned his beach side SoCal condo and his Aspen estate home long before joining NNVC. As CEO of the largest AIDS clinic in the Southwest, and amassing a client base of over 50K patients, he was paid himself a clinical director's salary before starting Saliva Diagnostics to develop a rapid AIDS test.

Whether or not they wanted more wealth, who who knows? Who knows what's in the hearts of others if they never discuss anything more than a motivation to treat diseases and ease suffering? But, they were both already wealthy though certainly not in the Bloomberg or Musk category of wealth.
