Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes spent Memorial Day Weekend with her partner Billy Evans and their two children. The family was seen enjoying a day at the beach in Malibu, California.
Holmes was dressed in a simple black swimsuit and sunglasses, while Evans and the children were all wearing brightly colored swimwear. The family was seen playing in the sand, swimming in the ocean, and building sandcastles.
The outing came just days before Holmes is scheduled to surrender to authorities to begin serving her 11-year prison sentence for fraud. Holmes was convicted in January 2022 of four counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was found guilty of defrauding investors, doctors, and patients about the capabilities of Theranos’ blood-testing technology.

Holmes’ conviction was a major fall from grace for the once-promising entrepreneur. She was once hailed as a Silicon Valley wunderkind, and her company was valued at $9 billion at its peak. However, her story ultimately turned out to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of ambition and the importance of ethics in business.
Despite her conviction, Holmes has maintained her innocence. She has filed an appeal of her conviction, and her lawyers have argued that she was the victim of a “witch hunt” by prosecutors. It remains to be seen whether Holmes’ appeal will be successful. However, for now, she is facing the prospect of spending the next decade in prison.
Holmes Story ended ?
The outing on Memorial Day Weekend was a rare glimpse of Holmes’ personal life. She has largely kept a low profile since her conviction, and she has not spoken publicly about her case. However, the images of her enjoying a day at the beach with her family offer a reminder that even those who have fallen from grace can still find happiness.
