The Danish company Novo Nordisk has gotten rich off of the success of Ozempic and Wegovy — two variants of the revolutionary drug called semaglutide that’s used for diabetes and weight loss respectively under different brand names. Since 2020, the company’s stock price has quadrupled. One of the biggest beneficiaries has been the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the pharmaceutical giant’s charitable arm and its largest shareholder.
