Hi, I'm Xing Xing.
And I'm Simon Jack.
And together we host Good Bad Billionaire,
the podcast exploring how some of the world's richest people made their fortunes.
And we are back with a brand new season of Billionaires.
Yes, movie megastar, Arnold Schwarzenegger, America's richest self-made businesswoman,
Diane Hendricks, and co-founder of Snapchat, Evan Spiegel, to name just a few.
And we're asking you, the listener, to decide if they're Good Bad or just another billionaire.

Hello, I'm Dashiani Navanagam and welcome to the conversation from the BBC World Service.
This is the programme that showcases the insights and experiences of pioneering women from around the world.
Today,
I'm speaking to two women who are both involved in programmes which offer direct cash payments to mothers and pregnant women.
Dr Mona Hanna is director of the Pediatric Public Health Initiative at Michigan State University Hurley Children's Hospital.
She runs Rx Kids,
the first city-wide program in the USA designed to address poverty as a root cause of health disparities.
And Dr Miriam Laquere-Oqueta is the senior research advisor at Give Directly,
a non-profit that lets donors send money directly to the world's poorest people with no strings attached.
