In 2015, the value of her company, Theranos, was estimated by experts at $ 9 billion, and Holmes' personal fortune at $ 4.5 billion. However, after a series of revelatory articles proving the ineffectiveness of Holmes' methods, she was forced to admit that all her inventions did not work. After the revaluation of the value of the company, which was produced by Forbes, the fortune of its founder was reduced to virtually zero.
