What a coincidence his family arrived in USA on May 18 and he died on May 18.

Great video. I had heard of Sam Zell. Another example of a smart hard working man, raised by parents who instilled the right values, and work ethics.
Greedy jwe skum zell responsible for widespread homelessness.
You mean another person from the chosen people

"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
What an underrated channel. Informative, accurate, to the point. I would watch your videos all day long.
Rocky your one of a kind..really showing who the BIG LIONS are in this game..well enroute for a successful future..play your cards right Rocky..and you'll go places...
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.
We're out of debt with the first investing government in human history.
Sad man
@@jmc8076 In the 2015/2016 fiscal year, the Crown Estate's property evaluation was £12 billion with a £304.1 million net revenue profit (up 6.7%) lol not trillions as most say
Great work yet again, keep raising the bar. Your videos stimulate and motivate, you have a knack for this, take it all the way brother.
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.
At the expense of millions of homeless families who can no longer afford insane rent.
I love how supportive everyone is of your work. Not a negative comment in sight! Nice community you got there....🥰
Stopped watching Bloomberg content, now watching Rocky’s. All the business media can learn from this channel. Excellent content, keep it on! 💯
You can always watch both. Bloomberg is limited by the fact they really cannot talk about the incumbents since they sell business data to them.
@@phoenix5054 Bloomberg politics is obviously unintelligent and subpar, the business and technology shills on there also make it less intelligent and exaggerated to a bias... quite gimmicky lately.
No BJ CJ to to😂@@phoenix5054
Storytelling at its finest here.
Rocky, you're onto something special. Thanks for putting this together so articulately.
Ok so this channel does a lot of CGI or something? Cause i keep wondering why someone kept doing Zell's face like that? Looks VERY graphically constructed.
His father was broke, came to America and opens a jewelry shop. Good story
You said it all! Well, the reason I am looking for a more genuine smart way on short term investment, any idea here?
@@rajeshupadhyay5683I'll suggest you lookup this genius woman, Christine Lynn Saitta, she's the real investment prodigy and has also helped me handled my trades for over 15 months now
I am really surprised to see someone here also employ madam Christine's services. She has been managing my investment and my weekly returns are so amazing
What an excellent video!
You always make videos on people i already had an interest in or videos on ppl i had no idea of, but found interesting after watching your video!
This channel is awesome. Thank you so much. Great sponsors too
Great Job! I learnt about a real estate titan. Thanks for the research and effort putting together this video.
These videos are insane in both quality & content, thank you!
Great content! Very engaging and inforamtive. Thank you for your efforts!
Sam Zell seems like an amazing guy. I read his book it's great, he desearves all the success he has.
Deserves "success" even if it destroys the lives of millions of americans? You have absolutely no idea how evil this psychopath is and how much harm he is causing to the housing market, directly responsible for millions of homeless, even working class people who have jobs but can no longer afford housing.
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.

Hey, Chris Rock said it already, there is a difference between a job and a career..
Another great video. Thank you for sharing these financial moments in history. Each and every one of your videos that I’ve seen have been educational and entertaining. 🙏🏾
I really love the animation on here!! so much. Literally clicked on and stayed watching because of it
Must've been nice to live in a time when actual savings and loans still existed!
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.
It is always better to know about laws haha
Thank Clinton the Republican far right media owning markets buying all the newspapers, TV, Radio and creating legal monopolies in rich man’s propaganda
@@UKindness4 I sometimes wonder if the forces of capitalism made such concentration inevitable. Fortunately the internet came along, and while mass media still receives more attention than it probably should, newspapers are struggling for survival. Free flow of accurate information is critical to a healthy society.
@@atoghra1 ya think. It has everything to do with it. Unfettered capitalism is the death of capitalism at some point. The whole belief of markets and people doing the right thing because the market will dictate it, is nonsense.
incredible
The style of these documentaries is awesome. Keep it up. Great info
I dont usually watch this type of documentary, but am so glad I did!
Okay.
Hey friend
How are you doing today?
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.

By far my most favourite chanel on UA-cam
learned something new - I love Scandinavian home interiors!
My guy Rocky back at it🔥🔥🔥we can't thank you enough bro
Its amazing we get this quality content for free
Nothing free here. UA-cam is selling your eyeballs (and mine) to advertisers.
We are the product. The video is just a lubricant for the transaction.
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.
Bad comment. You want to be charged? Don’t give him ideas haha
No, you'll see ads and they take away your time.
How does this man not have more subs
Excellent work... Good visual flow and very engaging narration. Above all, the music selection is phenomenal. This is what makes or breaks a documentary.
Appreciate it 😊
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.
Thanks for doing all the reserch and bring it to us with an amazing editing and non boring way of telling the story's of this amazing ppl out there.

Damn Rocky already has 175k in subs that’s ridiculous how fast this channel grew! Keep it up!!
I love the videos and research you put together. I am sure a lot of effort has been invested. Thank you so much!!!
love every single one of your case studies.
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

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.
His trade execution quality and profiting is well structured with great financial features.
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.
Good good content.
Yes I'm a living testimony of Romero pieto his platform has also done a great thing for me.
Do you know someone who can scam me out of my money?
Bro, you deserve to be on all major platform up to Neftlix... Everything!
Hey Man, I never comment on your videos, sorry for that. I just wanna let you know I enjoy every single one of them, you’re doing some really great work. Congrats and i’ll keep watching all of them! 👏🏻
Thanks Renan!!
Your videos are really good. I’ve seen many already.
Thank you.
Great video.. definitely can learn a lot from his vast experiences & teachings. Thanks for sharing.
Another Excellent video
Very impressive documentary. Engaging and thought-provoking. Well done sir. Subscribed.
How much did they pay you to say this?
@@usaisnojoke nothing lol. His documentary’s are genuinely amazing if finance fascinates you. I wish I got paid lmao
He has something that you cannot learn at school: to be visionary. It is a gift.
Work ship Satan and you will get that and more.
Just like the movie The Devils Advocate
Do you mean _one becomes visionary by praying for one's daily bread_ ?
Man, I’m just binging on your channel. So glad you’re prolific and so glad I dumped all my subscriptions except for Prime (which is because of the shipping - their media content isn’t bad, but why watch any of that…art…when I can watch yours. You’re turning into an icon of financial history, so important to us little people who just want to retire with a livable income. Nice work.
This is the most underrated documentary channel on UA-cam ❤️
It's not underrated all of us viewers love the content. Views will blow up at some point
My boy back at it with ANOTHER banger!
I know it may be a long shot request but could you possibly do a video on Robert F Smith?
(Vista Private Equity CEO). He never really gets his just due as a titan and pioneer in his industry and I think it'd add a cool little diversity in your catalog.💯
Other than that keep up the amazing work sir. Been rocking with you since 600 subscribers. Stay Blessed Rocky 🙏🏾
This would be dope!
this is so the type of my documentary; real estate, business, and financial.
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.
I can't say I didn't wait too long for this video but I'm glad it's here. thank you
This Channel is Getting Epic Day by Day
Its amazing to see how rich a lot of these guys were in their younger days, able to retire, but they continued building
I would enjoy my life and do work part time
Greed is the worst decease. Kills everybody around you.

Sam 's lessons are valuable for upcoming entrepreuners and investor. Rest in peace. Excellent advice for Business schools and practitioners.
Oh yes, a valuable reason as to why he is top spot regarding why rent is out of control.
Thanks dude. These videos are fair and honest as well as damn slick.
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 .
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.
Spectacular videos man. I’ve been watching a ton of these recently and they’re very high quality.
This channel defines what is content
You got to love the wealthy people
Their discipline to wat really matters is just awsome.
They are not driven by the shiny routines of popping bottles n galz.
That level of discipline is just awsome
Your production value excellent. My compliments.
keep it up Finaius, great channel, great contenents
Please get a team together and try to post in a week time and atleast hour long duration. Rocky you’re doing god’s work!! Bless your kin 💮
Just wanted to appreciate your soundwork, cinematography and the structured approach.
Best of luck!
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.

Having this experience since 2010 and have acquired over 5M I'm right here for you.
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.
This was such a GREAT video! Sam Zell was always on my list as one of the best entrepreneurs that ever lived! RIP!
❤❤❤ this just wish it was a 2 hr doc, I can’t get enough of Sam
Zell
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.

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!
You are right! I have diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

Just that I long to see such eye catching projects in The Gambian. I have a vision of one of the biggest housing estate but without the competent investors to exploit it. One can't imagine such a conducive location within the Grater Banjul
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!
Great content as always, keep it up guys.
