I doubt that

Look for Elizabeth Holmes. She claimed to have invented a machine that made the impossible, which made her a "fortune" of 16 billion dollars. When it was discovered that the machine never existed, her fortune fell to zero.

Her fortune was Theranos stock she could never sell.

So she was a billionaire only on paper? That must have sucked.

Suspicion or conclusion?
