Billion Dollar Buyer introduces promising companies across the country to one of America's most successful businessmen: billionaire hospitality mogul Tilman Fertitta, Chairman, CEO, and sole shareholder of Landry's, Inc.
Fertitta oversees more than 500 properties and over 50 leading restaurant, hotel, and entertainment brands, ranging from high-end properties like Mastro's and Morton's The Steakhouse, to such mainstream destinations as Rainforest Café, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Saltgrass Steak House, and five Golden Nugget Casinos.
With an annual supply spend of $2 billion, his buying power is second to none.
Now, he's personally scouting the country for the most innovative new products America's entrepreneurs have to offer – everything from food and drink for his restaurants and casinos, to linens and spa products for his hotels.
In each episode Fertitta spends time with two small businesses, samples their goods, gets to know their owners, and assesses their compatibility with Landry's, Inc. He points out flaws in their product and operations, shares his expertise, and pushes for improvements.
Finally, he decides whether to place an order with one of the companies, both, or neither.
