Meet Elizabeth Holmes Dad, Christian Holmes IV
Christian Rasmus Holmes IV is the dad of Elizabeth Holmes. Growing up, the Holmes Family moved frequently which made it difficult for her to retain the friendship. When Elizabeth was around nine, her father’s job took them to Houston. She understood her father felt guilty for uprooting the family so she wrote a letter to console him which read, “What I want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do. it’s big on science.”
Christian’s great-grandfather was a famous surgeon after whom Cincinnati’s General Hospital was named. He married the Fleischmann yeast empire heiress Betty Fleischmann cementing the already established Holmes name as one of wealth and status. He often took pride in his family’s lineage.
Joseph Fuisz once told The Dropout, “her father had a real sense of entitlement in terms of the traditional importance of his family, that it sort of eroded over the years. The seeds of Elizabeth’s grandiose fantasy for her business connect to this paradise lost family mythology.”
