Holmes had once modeled herself as the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, winning widespread recognition – including from Harvard University and Time Magazine – for a fake technology that she claimed would revolutionize blood testing methods by miraculously tiny amounts of blood are used, such as a finger prick.
She founded Theranos when she dropped out of Stanford University at the age of 19.
It had raised nearly $1 billion in funding from some of the world's biggest backers: venture capital titans like Tim Draper, Donald Lucas and Dixon Doll; wealthy heirs to the founders of Amway, Walmart and Cox Communications; and technology and media heavyweights like Larry Ellison and Rupert Murdoch.
Before these lies were exposed in a series of explosive articles in the Wall Street Journal beginning in October 2015, Holmes had raised an incredible sum of money from some of the biggest names in business and technology.
Holmes' stake in Theranos once catapulted her paper fortune to $4.5 billion.
She never sold shares in the company, although evidence in court left no doubt that she reveled in the trappings of fame and fortune – so much so that she and Evans, the father of her children, stayed at a palatial Silicon Valley estate during the year Valley lived attempt.
