Stephane Bancel, Chief Executive of the COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA), has offloaded $408 million worth of company shares since January 2020,CNBC reported Thursday, citing an analysis of the company’s securities filings.

Equilar, a company providing data on executive compensation, has independently verified the value of Bancel’s sales. However, he has made the sales in line with the 10b5-1 stock plans adopted in 2018.

According to the report, as Moderna (MRNA) shares surged with its successes in the COVID-19 vaccine front, Bancel has become a billionaire with an estimated net worth of more than $5.3 billion based only on his company equity as of March 01.
