Hi, I'm Xingxing.
And I'm Simon Jack.
And Good Bad Billionaire is back.
Yes,
the podcast exploring the lives and livelihoods of some of the world's richest people is back for a brand new season,
and this time with a twist.
On Good Bad Dead Billionaire, we are looking back on the lives of some titans of US industry.
Like the first ever billionaire, John D. Rockefeller.
The founder of the Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford.
And the first lady of Wall Street, Hetty Green.
And Simon and I are asking you if they were good, bad, or just another billionaire.
That's Good Bad Dead Billionaire.
Hello and welcome to Business Matters, I'm Roger Hearing.
