Description
Brazillionaires: The Godfathers of Modern Brazil by Alex Cuadros In 2012, Brazilian tycoon Eike Batista was the 8th richest man in the world, with a fortune built on Brazil's natural resources. However, by the middle of 2013, he had lost it all, embroiled in scandal. This book tells the story of Batista's rise and fall, as well as the rise of the hyper-rich in Brazil and globally. But 'Brazillionaires' is more than just a tale of individual fortunes - it's an investigation into a country that appears poised to become a superpower, yet struggles with endemic inequality and corruption. Cuadros takes a fast-paced look at the lives of the ultra-rich, from helicopter flights to beach-front penthouses, and explores the complex issues that shape Brazil's economy and society.
