If the story of Elizabeth Holmes and the company Theranos, which started when Holmes was only 19 years old in 2003, were introduced to the world as a work of fiction, no literary agency or production company would have bought it. The reason for this is that this entire 15-year story of one young woman with an idea that never worked, who could become the youngest self-made billionaire, was so insane that the whole story is too bizarre to produce a movie or release a novel.
