The world’s richest unmarried girl: Elizabeth Holmes

Holmes founded the company in Palo Alto, California as Real-Time Cures to "democratize healthcare." Her goal was to make health information accessible to all people at any time so that risk of disease and health conditions could be detected early on.In April 2004, she incorporated the company as Theranos (an amalgam of "therapy" and "diagnosis") and rented the basement of a group college house.
