In 2015, Forbes had named Holmes the youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaire in America.[4]
After revelations of potential fraud in Theranos' claims, in 2016 Forbes revised its estimate of Holmes' net worth to zero.[5] Fortune named her one of the "World's Most Disappointing Leaders".[6]
