全球十大年輕富豪盤點(diǎn)

Elizabeth Holmes

伊麗莎白?霍姆斯

年齡：31

公司：Theranos

個(gè)人凈資產(chǎn)估值：45億美元

和馬克?扎克伯格一樣，伊麗莎白?霍姆斯為了追求創(chuàng)業(yè)夢(mèng)想也選擇了輟學(xué)。那時(shí)她19歲，在美國(guó)常春藤盟校、鼎鼎大名的斯坦福念化學(xué)工程專業(yè)，才上大學(xué)二年級(jí)。放棄學(xué)業(yè)后，她在加州帕羅奧多市成立了開發(fā)創(chuàng)新驗(yàn)血方法的公司Theranos，主要啟動(dòng)資金來自父母原本用來供她念大學(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi)。

霍姆斯的公司Theranos，可能會(huì)給這個(gè)市場(chǎng)規(guī)模達(dá)到730億美元的醫(yī)藥業(yè)帶來天翻地覆的變化，目前該公司估值已經(jīng)達(dá)到90億美元。但最近《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》的一篇爆炸性新聞卻給Theranos公司帶來了麻煩。報(bào)道稱，該公司夸大其詞，其檢測(cè)并未使用他們宣稱獨(dú)家的指尖驗(yàn)血技術(shù)。在回應(yīng)該報(bào)道的質(zhì)疑時(shí)，霍姆斯表示，公司正在等待美國(guó)食品藥物監(jiān)督管理局（FDA）批準(zhǔn)，今后會(huì)“全面”采用獨(dú)家技術(shù)。

Elizabeth Holmes

Age: 31

Company: Theranos

Estimated net worth: $4.5 billion

Like Mark Zuckerberg, Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of an Ivy League university during her sophomore year to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams. At age 19, the ambitious chemical engineering major quit Stanford and bootstrapped Theranos, a revolutionary Palo Alto, Calif.-based blood diagnostics startup, mainly with money her parents saved for her college education.

The now-$9 billion company, poised to upend the $73 billion dollar diagnostics industry, was recently rocked by an explosive Wall Street Journal exposé. The tell-all alleges that Theranos has struggled with and neglected to use its proprietary fingertip-prick blood test technology. Holmes has hit back at the criticism, saying the company is awaiting FDA approval it will “absolutely” get.
