The lavish lifestyle of Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes ruled fair game for trial – Sydney Morning Herald
Elizabeth Holmes reigned briefly as the world’s youngest female self-made billionaire before her blood-testing startup once valued at $US9 billion unravelled.
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmess appetite for fame and fortune can be presented to jurors as a motive for her alleged fraud, a judge ruled.
At her criminal trial set to start in late August, prosecutors have said they want to describe Holmess travel on private jets, stays in luxury hotels and her reliance on multiple assistants, one of whom took care of home decorating, clothes, jewellery and grocery shopping.
