While over here in the US...

...we have Theranos.

A disruptive medical diagnostic company, based on the revolutionary idea that you can do medical testing with only a single drop of blood. It was founded ten years ago by an visionary, (attractive, blonde) 19 year old woman, who dropped out of Stanford after her first year (because they had nothing to teach her?), and whose qualifications to run this company seem to be her looks, her positive can-do attitude and her family's money and connections.

Notably lacking: hard science to back up her brilliant idea. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services seems to think she's been pulling a fast one on them.
