Excellent Documentary. Sam Zell has lead a grand life. An American gladiator and combatant in the arena with other business men. Surviving on top using excellent logic and business skills.
Appreciate your videos! I’m 54 and younger generations should know there’s no shortcut to acquiring wealth, but there are ways to go about it. Fellow millionaires don’t tell the poor/middle class they need the knowledge of finance coaches to help build their wealth. If anyone here needs a good coach, here’s it..
Based on my 6 years of experience with dividend investing, my best advice is to adopt a long-term mindset. While dividends offer attractive income, their true potential lies in the remarkable compounding effect that unfolds over time. With a $350,000 portfolio, I'm now seeking to optimize its performance by adding high-potential companies. I'd love to hear your ideas and insights
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
Many people underestimate the value of financial advisors until they've suffered losses due to emotional decision-making. I learned this lesson the hard way after my divorce a few summers ago. To keep my business afloat, I sought out a licensed advisor with exceptional credentials. Thankfully, I found an expert who has been instrumental in growing my reserves despite inflationary pressures, increasing my wealth from $275,000 to $850,000. Her guidance has been invaluable, and I now recognize the importance of seeking professional advice to navigate complex financial situations.
*Julianne Iwersen-Niemann* is the licensed advisor I use. Just google the name and you’d find necessary deets. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
A kind man , I'm a nobody but was honored to have Sam in my house for coffee a couple of times . Such a humble kind man . Also one hell of a business man .
Did I hear Sam Zell correctly? “ I haven’t worked a day in my life since the four days I was at that law firm.” A man after my own heart! When you love what you do it is not work.I can see from the comments below that everyone is enjoying your eye opening videos. Good work. This is a great way to teach and also inspire people. Back in the early 1980s I had a chance to meet Ted Turner when he came into town for the America’s Cup. He was quite loquacious but every word he said made sense. 24 Hour News was his big dream and he made it come true.
Early life checked and confirmed. Also confirmed is excessive use of Video AI Enhancement .. or WAIFu2x (it is that bad). Editor needs to use a less heavy hand when applying these tools.
This is the meaning of karma. Things happen miraculously. Just like two refugees who come into a new country and both start to sell fruits and vegetables at the local marketplace. Both have zero seed capital. After ten years we check what happened. One became a millionaire and the other is hardly able to pay rent. So to become financially successful it is all about karma. You did well in your past life and now comes the reward. There's no coincidence.

He’s poking big bears so YT/google algo won’t like him. Big money owns most land. Billionaire John Malone owns 2,200,000 Acres in USA and reportedly largest US private land owner. Queen of England owns 6.5 billion acres or ~1/6 of land on Earth. Most falls under Crown Estate which essentially operates as a RE biz.

I saw Zell give a talk at the University of Illinois Law School, where he described the implications of new legislation passed in 1996. Before '96, radio media stations could only own 12 channels, however they removed that barrier allowing unlimited channel ownership (eventually leading to highly concentrated media oligopolies). Zell's team went out and bought 152 radio stations, later selling them all to Clear Channel for just over $1.5 billion. Although he didn't practice law, the education he received in law school greatly enhanced his ability to understand it's dynamics in business.

Brother. Your efforts are tremendous for those who want to gain Knowledge of the financial and real estate community. The most impressive is the level of detail and well structured insight for seasoned professionals as myself. Well done. Perfectly timed as well. (This goes for all of your videos) Please keep the storytelling going.
I love the story about being connected with your close family. Helping each other, consulting each other, in every situation, that's why these people almost always achieve tremendous success.
@@michaeljosephjackson2364 even the most stupid people in the world knows that the Jewish are the smartest people in the world !!! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 God bless the chosen people and Israel !!!
"It never occured to me that I couldn't do it." That ladies and gentleman is why Sam Zell is the most successful businessman in the world of real estate. Mindset is everything when it comes to success. You got to believe you can do something before you actually even do it.
Prices can go up real fast. Homes I was looking at 5 months ago are $40,000 more now today. They likely will go back down but then again they might not any time soon. Always a gamble. So a decision like this may result in a home price going up 10s of thousands of dollars.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
“Rebecca Noblett Roberts’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a meeting.
I lived in Chicago during the 90’s. One of the Zell stories I heard was regarding a partner/best friend of his. I was told Zell had a partner/best friend who he was very close to. The partner died and Sam committed to his deceased partners family that they would always own half the company or they would always be cared for for the rest of their lives. Has anyone heard the story? Is it true? The way it was told to me, Sam didn’t really have to pay a lot to buy them out but he committed to them to receive half the upside of the partnership profits and value. Pretty amazing if it’s true.
This is maybe my favorite episode. This guy seems so smart and such a go getter. I can't believe how many places he acquired in college to make the equivalent of 1m today upon graduation.
For those interested Sam Zell commissioned a company (my moms cousin was one of the main designers and builders) to build these very neat automated 'Music Boxes', messages that were entirely custom made each year, a few thousand pieces were produced annually for about 2 decades, with a pre-recorded message from Sam, celebrating the turn of the new year, typically for his high end clients, etc. They sell for thousands of dollars ($5000-$20,000) if you can find one in good working condition they are very cool. I've seen 10-20 of them, all very cool to watch. Some have tons of moving parts and some are a bit simpler while still having motion, and a custom song for each, with a light show! I'll post videos of them sometime this year, he has the coolest ones of them all I believe.
"Music Box"......Ya no thanks a good amp and speakers with an internet connection can be had for that price and sound far better with unlimited music available.
@@mohammadwasilliterate8037It’s notable. Unusual. Remarkable. No one is saying they want one instead of a Bluetooth speaker. Not me, not anyone. You’re having a Biden moment. No one is there.
@@chaseteter Am talking about HiFi, you know high fidelity sound systems, KRELL Amplifiers $5,000+ and Speakers from reputable brands SONUS FABER $15,000+ not crappy "Music Boxes" with "Pre-recorded messages" what a complete waste of time and money.🤣😂
Better to listen to Sam Zell tell his own story in his book "Am I being too subtle" on Audible. Sam doesn't wear business suits as portrayed in the AI synthetic characters in this video.
I'm so glad that I stumbled on to this! What a great documentary. Funny how near the end of the video he begins to be referred to as "old guard" or outdated. We haven't scratched the scratch on this guy's mindset, insight, and ability to make fine wine out of what others thought was MADD Dog 20/20! This to me is what living your best life looks like. Not just become wealthy, but striving to be all that you can.
Ya I remember how my grandpa bought all oh his cars with cash. He saved for years working and then paid cash for a new car. He was super opposed to car loans and debt. Society today pushes debt by forcing interest rates super low for two decades encouraging borrowing as borrowers win the most thanks to inflation and savers are losers really thanks to inflation.
@@sciencenotstigma9534he means being the best you can be at what you do. However you also sacrifice relationships and friendships because it becomes from passion to obsession. Anyone who is great is always alone
I followed this deal in modest depth while it was happening. I was a loan broker at the time, and the lending that was going on was so far beyond stupid, I couldn't believe it. I saw loans being given to people where the loan payments were 85% of their income, never mind their utilities, food, gas for their car. I thought the RE bubble was topped out about a year before it popped, and I will always give Sam Zell credit for getting out at 11:59 at the very tippy top of the market. And let's be clear; he could not have done that if there was not a willing buyer. As he said at time, he was being offered so much for his company, he'd be stupid to turn it down.
@@Finaius Well, OK, fair enough. But that is not the mentality of a skilled businessman, that's the mentality of a drunk at a bar at closing time. Here you had a REIT run by Zell, most skilled operator in the biz. It's stock price was what, $42? That price represented the yield (REITs are priced mostly on yield) under the control of the most skilled guy ever, as judged by the smartest guys in the market. OK, you wanna pay $44 for it, fine. And yes, there's a lot of multi-year work assembling the whole portfolio of properties By the time the bidding got up to the upper $50's, the expectation had to be that so many underperformers could be sold off that the jewels would still shine. But that's an awfully tall bet when you're paying up over 20% over market for ALL of it, even the doggies. And all this happened after a multi-year runup in comm RE with seemingly no top. Under normal conditions, 7% appreciation (the 20% premium being paid) is a solid 3 years of growth with no bumps in the road. The deal was an expression of "gotta have it, at any price". Auction fever. Not what you'd expect out of supposedly skilled operators itching to buy it. Sam said at the time he was being offered so much money, he could not turn it down. He knew damn well the offer was crazy high and he was smart to take it.
@@Finaius Yep.. family sold real estate in Florida at the time.. he was getting loans magically approved all of a suddenfor all clients, even poor families..for the most unqualified people with no credit, getting approved for 200K for a brand new florida townhome. They had zero credit people getting credit like it was a river of money that didnt exist. Then the same people would take money out of it after refinancing it.. made no sense ha.

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent amount of money with the right skills and proper understanding of how the markets works.
Working with Romero pieto is the best thing that can happen to a beginner trader who is aspiring to be fruitful out of the market he is trustworthy and straightforward we surely need more men like him in trading world.
What an amazing story. Imagine doing something just because you can. He knew his strengths and he played to them. It is a fact anyone can use for their own success. Believe in what you know and hammer at it until you succeed at it to whatever success looks like for you.
I worked for a company in the mid 1990's that serviced his office buildings, he hired a consultant to streamline the maintenance, basically a ploy to cut the bill, new scope of work etc, the managers ended up demanding same service as before with reduced invoice, slight of hand shell game
I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

@@atorystory1445 Some people naturally are drawn to the perceived "winners" as if they can not win at life themselves then at least support the person who is and call it a victory by proxy. This becomes beyond absurd when such people are suffering while supporting their chosen successor. Also I 100% agree that this problem with ownership is a ticking timebomb that will eventually leave people with a modern form of serfdom vs anarchy (rebellion). People on both sides of this left vs right game seem to think they will fix everything by supporting their polarized sides but forget that money does not have a "side" and can turn any politician into a tool (just look at the red/democrats for an example of money power). Lastly the government itself represents the people but it also represents the the national assets/interests, to own everything is to effectively own the government from an national asset perspective and this would translate into a massive crisis of representation of the few vs the representation of the many (it already is being labelled socialism to even discuss the waning influence of the average person vs the few). I could go on but this slow burning issue will still take some time to boil and by that point it will be too late to avoid whatever tragedy unfolds as a result.

*THIS* is one of the problems with america.... modest residential dwellings shouldnt be used as "investments" by big buisness but as a store of value for the middle class.
Big business generally doesn’t buy modest residential dwellings. Zell bought office and apartment buildings. Owner occupiers own the vast majority of single family homes. Of those that are rented out about 70% are owned by individual investors (this also includes duplexes). So not sure what the problem is.

"It never occured to me that I couldn't do it." That ladies and gentleman is why Sam Zell is the most successful businessman in the world of real estate. Mindset is everything when it comes to success. You got to believe you can do something before you actually even do it.
Truth
More like Greed if you ask me no wonder there's an epidemic in homelessness
@@kenkeliba2639 also very true
All you have to do is give yourself to Satan and share his fate 👍🏿
@@kenkeliba2639 Even where this is not allowed, homelessness is just rampant, lets talk, China , let's talk deep in the African Villages
Great story and well done to Sam. He has done what people dream of doing. All I can say is wow. Nice documentary.
Prices can go up real fast. Homes I was looking at 5 months ago are $40,000 more now today. They likely will go back down but then again they might not any time soon. Always a gamble. So a decision like this may result in a home price going up 10s of thousands of dollars.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

“Rebecca Noblett Roberts’’ is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a meeting.
I lived in Chicago during the 90’s. One of the Zell stories I heard was regarding a partner/best friend of his. I was told Zell had a partner/best friend who he was very close to. The partner died and Sam committed to his deceased partners family that they would always own half the company or they would always be cared for for the rest of their lives. Has anyone heard the story? Is it true? The way it was told to me, Sam didn’t really have to pay a lot to buy them out but he committed to them to receive half the upside of the partnership profits and value. Pretty amazing if it’s true.
This is maybe my favorite episode. This guy seems so smart and such a go getter. I can't believe how many places he acquired in college to make the equivalent of 1m today upon graduation.
Bro, you deserve to be on all major platform up to Neftlix... Everything!
For those interested Sam Zell commissioned a company (my moms cousin was one of the main designers and builders) to build these very neat automated 'Music Boxes', messages that were entirely custom made each year, a few thousand pieces were produced annually for about 2 decades, with a pre-recorded message from Sam, celebrating the turn of the new year, typically for his high end clients, etc.
They sell for thousands of dollars ($5000-$20,000) if you can find one in good working condition they are very cool. I've seen 10-20 of them, all very cool to watch. Some have tons of moving parts and some are a bit simpler while still having motion, and a custom song for each, with a light show!
I'll post videos of them sometime this year, he has the coolest ones of them all I believe.
I googled it and found some for sale $15k USD. Incredible.
"Music Box"......Ya no thanks a good amp and speakers with an internet connection can be had for that price and sound far better with unlimited music available.

How does this man not have more subs
I'm so glad that I stumbled on to this! What a great documentary. Funny how near the end of the video he begins to be referred to as "old guard" or outdated. We haven't scratched the scratch on this guy's mindset, insight, and ability to make fine wine out of what others thought was MADD Dog 20/20! This to me is what living your best life looks like. Not just become wealthy, but striving to be all that you can.
All that you can be, in what way?
Negro Please
Ya I remember how my grandpa bought all oh his cars with cash. He saved for years working and then paid cash for a new car. He was super opposed to car loans and debt.
Society today pushes debt by forcing interest rates super low for two decades encouraging borrowing as borrowers win the most thanks to inflation and savers are losers really thanks to inflation.
It must have been nice for him
To grow up in a society where the dollar was gold backed at least.
@@sciencenotstigma9534he means being the best you can be at what you do. However you also sacrifice relationships and friendships because it becomes from passion to obsession. Anyone who is great is always alone
I followed this deal in modest depth while it was happening. I was a loan broker at the time, and the lending that was going on was so far beyond stupid, I couldn't believe it. I saw loans being given to people where the loan payments were 85% of their income, never mind their utilities, food, gas for their car. I thought the RE bubble was topped out about a year before it popped, and I will always give Sam Zell credit for getting out at 11:59 at the very tippy top of the market. And let's be clear; he could not have done that if there was not a willing buyer. As he said at time, he was being offered so much for his company, he'd be stupid to turn it down.
I think a lot of the players knew that as well, that's why they wanted to do one last money grab lol.
@@Finaius Well, OK, fair enough. But that is not the mentality of a skilled businessman, that's the mentality of a drunk at a bar at closing time. Here you had a REIT run by Zell, most skilled operator in the biz. It's stock price was what, $42? That price represented the yield (REITs are priced mostly on yield) under the control of the most skilled guy ever, as judged by the smartest guys in the market. OK, you wanna pay $44 for it, fine. And yes, there's a lot of multi-year work assembling the whole portfolio of properties By the time the bidding got up to the upper $50's, the expectation had to be that so many underperformers could be sold off that the jewels would still shine. But that's an awfully tall bet when you're paying up over 20% over market for ALL of it, even the doggies. And all this happened after a multi-year runup in comm RE with seemingly no top. Under normal conditions, 7% appreciation (the 20% premium being paid) is a solid 3 years of growth with no bumps in the road. The deal was an expression of "gotta have it, at any price". Auction fever. Not what you'd expect out of supposedly skilled operators itching to buy it. Sam said at the time he was being offered so much money, he could not turn it down. He knew damn well the offer was crazy high and he was smart to take it.
secret societies arent for nothing.
@@Finaius Yep.. family sold real estate in Florida at the time.. he was getting loans magically approved all of a suddenfor all clients, even poor families..for the most unqualified people with no credit, getting approved for 200K for a brand new florida townhome. They had zero credit people getting credit like it was a river of money that didnt exist. Then the same people would take money out of it after refinancing it.. made no sense ha.

I worked for a company in the mid 1990's that serviced his office buildings, he hired a consultant to streamline the maintenance, basically a ploy to cut the bill, new scope of work etc, the managers ended up demanding same service as before with reduced invoice, slight of hand shell game
Reduced invoices? What do you mean?
Interesting... So, the managing/cut invoices/ bills, "trickled down"... smart move of the managers!

THE KEY TO TRADING SUCCESS IS EMOTIONAL DISCIPLINE. IF INTELLIGENCE WERE THE KEY, THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE PEOPLE MAKING MONEY TRADING.
INVESTMENT HAS BEEN THE ONLY GAP DIFFERENTIATING THE POOR FROM THE RICH👌
Most people today have been having a lot of failures in investing because of poor orientation and bad experts.
I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

I moved to Queretaro, Mexico on 11-2-2021 at the age of 79, and had 1-800-Got Junk to clear out my apartment. I always gave away, and I did not have junk. I had most of my stuff packed up, so they had an easy job. I have a 100% studio apartment here, that includes all utilities, WiFi. maid service, and an excellent view of the city. It is $850 less expensive per month living here. The USA became to deadly and expensive. I have index cards of all I got rid of, and I do not miss anything. A great feeling. People die at any age.
It has gone up so much

I love emerging from the underground into this courtyard of retail, restaurant and office building space
Subconsciously I wonder how spaces like these get built and more importantly how managed. Financed. Maintained
It was neat to see this as one of the properties acquired and owned by Sam Zell. It was cool to see a face and his history tied to a physical space I knew next to nothing of

@@atorystory1445 Tbh I never heard of him until I saw this video in my feed about 30 minutes ago.
@@sinatra222 Then why would you attack my belief that one man owning all the worlds real estate is a problem for humanity?
@@atorystory1445 Some people naturally are drawn to the perceived "winners" as if they can not win at life themselves then at least support the person who is and call it a victory by proxy. This becomes beyond absurd when such people are suffering while supporting their chosen successor.
Also I 100% agree that this problem with ownership is a ticking timebomb that will eventually leave people with a modern form of serfdom vs anarchy (rebellion).
People on both sides of this left vs right game seem to think they will fix everything by supporting their polarized sides but forget that money does not have a "side" and can turn any politician into a tool (just look at the red/democrats for an example of money power).
Lastly the government itself represents the people but it also represents the the national assets/interests, to own everything is to effectively own the government from an national asset perspective and this would translate into a massive crisis of representation of the few vs the representation of the many (it already is being labelled socialism to even discuss the waning influence of the average person vs the few).
I could go on but this slow burning issue will still take some time to boil and by that point it will be too late to avoid whatever tragedy unfolds as a result.
Very good documentary

*THIS* is one of the problems with america.... modest residential dwellings shouldnt be used as "investments" by big buisness but as a store of value for the middle class.
Big business generally doesn’t buy modest residential dwellings. Zell bought office and apartment buildings. Owner occupiers own the vast majority of single family homes. Of those that are rented out about 70% are owned by individual investors (this also includes duplexes). So not sure what the problem is.
