‘Don’t you want to be president?’ they teasingly asked her. No, she replied.

Nothing but a billionaire would do. And, remarkably, by the time she was 31 in 2015, she had achieved her goal. Her blood-testing company, Theranos, was valued at $9 billion (£7 billion), making her the youngest self-made billionaire in America.

The country was spellbound. Two former secretaries of state, Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, invested in her business. So convinced was media mogul Rupert Murdoch, that he ploughed $125 million (£96 million) into Theranos.
