Elizabeth Holmes
Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of Stanford to start a blood testing company called Theranos when she was only 19. At the age of 32, her worth was at one point $4.5 billion. She used the money for her education to fund her company and made headlines as a wealthy, self-made woman. However in recent years, she and her company have come under fire for their testing methods and her company went from an estimated value of $9 billion to a mere $800 million. Although owing 50% stake in the company, once she paid back her investors, her net worth dropped to $0 in 2016 according to Forbes.
