Good Bad Billionaire

Jeff Bezos: Get big fast


Listen Later

How did Amazon boss Jeff Bezos become the first person worth over $100 billion? BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng tell the story, from zero to his first million, and then on to the billions. Then they judge him - is he good, bad, or just another billionaire?

In the podcast that uncovers how the world's 2,668 billionaires made their money and asks if they are good or bad for the planet, Simon and Zing discuss a man who has climbed to the very top of the world's richest person lists. Find out what drove a boy born Jeffrey Jorgensen in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1964 to found one of the biggest corporations of the internet age and change the way the world shops.
