Rise of the Billionaires

One of the richest men in the world, Jeff Bezos, blazes a trail building his era-defining 'everything store'. His mansion-house neighbour is Bill Gates, the ageing stag of the young tech bros; whilst simultaneously new kid Elon Musk experiences a challenging start.

The web evolves from its wild west days and a new set of young guys with big ideas figure out how to lead us into the virtual world. Larry Page & Sergey Brin talk of their early dreams and the start of Google, whilst Mark Zuckerberg is about to change the world forever.

As we enter the wild world of social media, we watch as the young billionaires' wealth goes stratospheric and with it, their desire for power. But it's not all plain sailing: Elon Musk's Tesla nearly bankrupts him & the dark side of tech leaves Mark Zuckerberg sweating.

We bear witness to the extraordinary transformation that the billionaires have undergone these past 30 years: they can pursue their passions on such a grand scale as never seen before. Society at large wakes up to the power of tech & starts asking: have we lost control?
