In 2012, Brazilian tycoon Eike Batista was the 8th richest man in the world, his $30bn fortune built on Brazil's incredible natural resources. By the middle of 2013 he had lost it all, engulfed in scandal. 'Brazillionaires' is a fast-paced account of Batista's rise and fall, and the rise and rise of the hyper-rice, not just in Brazil but the world over: a story of helicopter flights, high-speed car crashes and beach-front penthouses. But it is also an investigation into a country apparently poised to become a superpower, yet beset by endemic inequality and corruption.
