Martine Rothblatt, the highest-paid female CEO in America used to be a man.
The 59-year old founder of $5 billion pharmaceutical firm United Therapeutics and also co-founder of Sirius had sex reassignment surgery in 1994, the New York Post reports.
“I can’t claim that what I have achieved is equivalent to what a woman has achieved. For the first half of my life, I was male,” Rothblatt, who has four kids and is still married to her wife of more than 30 years.
Rothblatt made $38 million last year as head of United Therapeutics, which she launched to create medicine for her daughter, who suffers from primary pulmonary hypertension.
In addition to being uber-wealthy, the CEO is obsessed with artificial intelligence and has a lifelike talking robot modeled after her spouse.
Her book, “Virtually Human: The Promise and Peril of Digital Immortality,” is being released on Tuesday.
