Elisabeth Holmes was once a respected CEO who created what seemed like a medical revolution for disease detection, but it turned out that her company Theranos' machine didn’t work at all. Elisabeth is still serving a prison sentence for four charges. Learn more about her net worth below.
In 2014, Elisabeth, who founded Theranos, claimed that her company had a testing device called Edison, which could easily detect cancer and diabetes by taking a drop of blood from the finger, as reported by the BBC. But what seemed like a medical revolution turned out to be a lie. The former CEO of Theranos was found guilty on four charges, partly due to deceiving investors, leading to them losing hundreds of millions of dollars. Three out of the four charges were related to wire fraud, and the fourth was conspiracy to commit wire fraud, for providing false hope to investors about the devices being developed in the company.

In 2022, she was sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in prison.

Elisabeth met Billy, heir to a hotel chain, at a charity event in 2017, and he proposed the following year.
She shared her vision of motherhood, considering her situation, with People, and stated: «I know how it looks, but I always wanted to be a mother. I wanted to have children, be a mom. I really didn’t think I would ever be found guilty or sentenced. I kept talking to my lawyers, and they assured me that we would never get to this. It wasn’t planned, and I can’t worry about what others think. Just when it happened». Her children will be 10 and 9 years old when she is released from prison in 2032. Her initial sentence of 11 years was reduced due to her good behavior in prison.
Billy once sent a statement to the judge in an attempt to reduce her sentence, and the letter was received by People. In it, he stated: «My heart breaks at the thought of spending any days without Liz, in the future, when my son grows up with a relationship with his mother behind glass, guarded by security. The weight of time without her is difficult for me to understand».
