Good Bad Billionaire · The Batista brothers: Meat and money · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

They knew they were about to share the Temer tape. voice-verified

So it's alleged that in the weeks before, the brothers got ahead of this and sold $90 million worth of JBS stock, thereby avoiding, of course, the 30% fall in the company's share price. voice-verified

Now that would be considered insider trading. voice-verified

So Wesley was also arrested just three days after his younger brother. voice-verified

Add together the alleged insider trading, the accidental tape which seemed to show obstruction of justice, and the brother spent about six months in jail in a Sao Paulo detention centre before being released into house arrest. voice-verified

Like many others charged under Operation Car Wash, the case remained unresolved for years. voice-verified

So a bit of time inside didn't seem to harm their business prospects. voice-verified

So they're billionaires. voice-verified

Let's go beyond a billion. voice-verified

For a few years, the brothers were banned from holding management positions at the holding company of JBS. voice-verified

But COVID intervened and changed all of that. voice-verified

In 2020, a Brazilian judge lifted the ban. voice-verified

It was seen as essential the brothers returned during the pandemic, given that JBS supplied 25% of Brazil's food market and employed 260,000 workers by this point. voice-verified

So they're too valuable to leave out of the boardroom. voice-verified

Then in 2023, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, this is the financial police, acquitted the brothers of charges of insider trading. voice-verified

And in 2024, they officially rejoined the board of JBS, still to this day, the world's largest meat company. voice-verified

It's got more than $77 billion in annual revenue, $2 billion in net income, with a presence of nearly every country in the world. voice-verified

So fascinating they've benefited in the first place from the desire to eat more meat and more protein in the developing world, particularly in China. voice-verified

So they rode that wave. voice-verified

Now they're raiding a different wave, which is that if you are going to eat, make it protein dense as weight loss drugs become more prevalent and diets change. voice-verified
