Vox Day has a post today about Forbes revising its net worth estimate for Elizabeth Holmes from $4.5 billion to zero. Yet from this article it is clear that Holmes has all of the attributes to be a kickass tech visionary:
The only deficiency I can find is related to eye-wear. I can’t find a single image of her wearing either glasses or safety goggles.

*I have given her credit for a ponytail even though no ponytail is verifiable in the photo. It is however possible that like the test results from her company’s signature invention, the ponytail assumption will have to be thrown out.
