I'm Zing Singh.
And I'm Simon Jack.
And together we host Good Bad Billionaire,
the podcast exploring the lives of some of the world's richest people.
In the new season, we're setting our sights on some big names.

And as always, Simon and I are trying to decide whether we think they're good,
bad or just another billionaire.
That's good.
