Rise of the Billionaires

The origin stories and turbulent journeys of the tech titans who shape our world. A small handful of very rich people have come to dominate our society. They are wealthier and more influential than nation states. Their genius, their passions and their foibles move stock markets, transform cities, affect democracy and overturn the way we all think. From Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk, from the Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg – these are the people who have not only become mega rich, but have reshaped our world, changing our culture, our economic structures and our ways of living in the most profound ways.
