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

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

So the brothers are well and truly back. voice-verified

But of course, they want to get bigger. voice-verified

For a long time, JBS had been prevented from listing on the New York Stock Exchange. voice-verified

This is where you want your shares listed if you're a big company. voice-verified

They've been refused for a decade by the U.S. voice-verified

Securities and Exchange Commission, the regulators there, and they've been opposed on both sides of the aisle, the political aisle in the U.S. voice-verified

Congress. voice-verified

And there's also a U.S. voice-verified

advocacy group literally named Ban the Batistas. voice-verified
