Inside The $135 Million Estate Where 'The Dropout' Elizabeth Holmes Lives

Former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes and her partner, hospitality heir William “Billy” Evans, are living in one of America’s most expensive estates as she awaits sentencing.

The one-time billionaire, 38, recently made headlines again as she is the subject of the Hulu miniseries “The Dropout,” which premiered Thursday.

Holmes rose to Silicon Valley fame after founding in 2003 the company Theranos, which promised that with a few drops of blood, its Edison test could detect conditions such as cancer and diabetes quickly without the hassle of needles.

Due to the firm's initial success, Forbes named Holmes the youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaire in the country in 2015 on the basis of a $9-billion valuation of her company. However, her net worth plunged to zero the following year after Holmes was exposed as a fake, and it was revealed that the technology she touted did not work at all.

As a result, Holmes was charged with nine counts of wire fraud and two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. In January, she was found guilty on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Following her September 2021 sentencing, Holmes is currently free on bond and living with her husband, Evans, at a home on the Green Gables estate in Woodside, California, one of the wealthiest towns in Silicon Valley, CNBC reported.

Their address was revealed in March 2021 by a citation Evans received for “failure to display license plate,” according to San Mateo County, California, court records seen by CNBC.

The 74-acre property has long been a gathering place for global dignitaries including European royalty, politicians, business leaders and creative luminaries, according to Green Gables’ website.

The English country-style main house is a 10,000-square-foot, nine-bedroom mansion. However, the other six homes on the property are more modest, including the one Holmes, her partner and the baby boy they welcomed in 2021 are staying in.

The grounds feature four pools, including a stadium-sized Roman pool, a tennis court, a flower and vegetable garden and a reservoir exclusively for the property.

Green Gables, which was built in 1911 by San Francisco businessman Mortimer Fleishhacker, was listed for sale last year for $135 million, according to CNBC.

It was not clear when the couple began living in the estate, but CNBC previously reported that in April 2019, Holmes and Evans had moved out of the luxury apartment that they were renting for $5,000 a month in the famous Lombard Street in San Francisco.

When Holmes was CEO of Theranos, she had enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle, even flying first class across America to acquire a Siberian Husky, according to Vanity Fair.

Even after the company’s legal problems mounted, Holmes would still insist on flying in a private jet and having her own personal security detail, drivers, personal assistants and a personal publicist who was on retainer for $25,000 a month, according to the outlet.

Holmes faces up to 20 years in prison for each of the four counts that led to a conviction in her federal fraud trial. She is set to be sentenced in September.
