## Synopsis

Undercover Billionaire (2019-2021) is an American business reality series created for Discovery. Self-made mogul Glenn Stearns takes on a seemingly impossible challenge: building a million-dollar company from scratch in just 90 days. Across two seasons and roughly twenty-two forty-five-minute episodes, the series follows his attempts to turn an ambitious idea into a working enterprise under relentless time pressure, with each episode chronicling the hurdles, decisions, and setbacks that come with launching a business at speed. Glenn's drive and self-made confidence anchor the show, and its structure is a clock-driven sprint in which every week brings new obstacles and tests of his judgment. The tone is brisk and upbeat, with an underlying suspense about whether the goal can be met. Viewers who enjoy entrepreneurial competition in the vein of The Apprentice and Shark Tank will find the same appetite for business ambition, ingenuity, and high-stakes decision making here. The series is a lively, optimistic watch for anyone curious about how fast a company can be built when the deadline is fixed and the stakes are personal.
