Elizabeth Anne Holmes, a former biotechnology entrepreneur and the convicted fraudster was born in the United States on February 3, 1984. She is 38 years old.
Theranos, a now-defunct health technology company that saw its valuation soar after the company claimed to have revolutionized blood testing by developing techniques that could use surprisingly small volumes of blood, such as from a fingerprick, was founded in 2003 by Holmes and he served as its chief executive officer (CEO).
Based on the $9 billion value of her business, Forbes declared Holmes the youngest and richest self-made female billionaire in America in 2015. As evidence of possible fraud regarding Theranos’s claims started to emerge the following year, Forbes reduced its estimate of Holmes’s net worth to zero, and Fortune included her in its feature piece on “The World’s 19 Most Disappointing Leaders.”
