If people understand the econs, Logan decision to tell the kids to "stop playing toy soldiers" with a publicly traded company and "make your own pile" with the pile received from selling Waystar to the eccentric tech billionaire at a significant premium was a good decision fiduciary-ly to the shareholders.
Best series ever created, an absolute masterpiece. Also kind of funny that AT&T which owns CNN, a competitor to Fox Corp and owns HBO made this about their competition even though both conglomerates are guilty of what’s portrayed
It's mainly bc of Rupert Murdoch. He's a very unique figure and there isn't anyone quite like him (or his family) in the AT&T or Warner or Discovery side of things. David Milch also had plans to make a show based on the Murdochs (intended moreso to be a drama) for HBO but it fell through. Idea came up again to form the basis of Succession after being proposed by Jesse Armstrong.
AT&T no longer "owns" CNN or HBO. Warner Bros Discovery owns them. WBD is a mega corp now all on its own, with numerous private companies holding stock, but the majority shareholder now is Advanced Publications.
Yeah but Murdoch is a fairly unique case, and we see this power struggle in the show that isn’t exactly happening with the Redstone family (ViacomCBS), who the Pierces are clearly based off of.
I found a very subtle, but very believable aspect of this show's writing/acting that makes the show highly believable: the stuttering, ummms, uhhhhs, and ahhhsss of Logan Roy's kids. They deliver their lines in way that show they are not sure if themselves. They are scared of their dad. It totally sets this apart from anything else on tv. Watch the show with subtitles and it will be way more pronounced.
Yes!! That’s something that I look for in dramas and almost never see. The Umms are how 99% of people speak and virtually 1% of the way people in dramas speak. Just a small pet peeve.
I keep thinking about when the family go to one of their mansions for a huge dinner party and then something happens and they order all the food to be thrown away. We’re talking about an insane amount of food that wasn’t contaminated in any way. That hurt and It was fake food in a tv show, but it still hurt.😢😢😂😂
But that's just it, they NEVER complete a deal. Nothing ever changes. "Succession" suggests that someone will eventually take over from Logan but I am not so sure that will happen. It's a bunch of people on the phone who are indecisive and in the process look to screw each other over. Yet I still watch it. I am hooked.
That’s what turned me off. As someone from a family business I can tell you none of the kids of Logan are even fit to be janitors. There is no way Logan would ever give them any real power. It’s a wholly unrealistic show and I honestly don’t get the hype. Great acting and cinematography but the characters are badly written.
Connor’s mom was mentioned. She was abused in like every way by Logan physically, too, and had mental health issues. She was like hauled off to an asylum in the early 80s or some shit
Most families tend to lose their wealth within 3 generations. These fools are pretty accurate representation of into what, families started by great men devolve into.
Isn't a lot of that just math though? A rich guy has 2 kids, who have 2 kids, who have 2 kids. Every time the wealth gets passed on it gets split into smaller and smaller shares.
@@rayden54 No, The thinking behind it is that the 3rd generation is that they are too spoiled that once their parents die, they do not know how to run their family business, so it fails, and or they spend all of their family money since they never had to work to earn money.
The interesting thing is, Connor is the least respected of the children, and yet he’s the only one who went to do his own thing. Sure, it didn’t really work out, as most people could’ve predicted, but he went for it.
That is still a majority stake compared to everybody else, not to say other shareholders can’t pile together to gain a majority, but their percentages are so minuscule it would take a Herculean coming together of a group of people to greedy to give up their piece of the pie.
@@rishirama6883 The Roy's don't own a majority of the company. Majority means more than 50% (they own 36%). If they had a majority, no one could takeover the company even if all the other shareholders stood against the Roy's. What they do have is a *plurality* which means largest share out of anyone else (but not necessarily more than 50%)
You should do an episode about companies that use different share structures to keep voting with founders. So many people don't understand how little actual power they have over certain companies. Even Ford still has a class B share with something like 35x the voting power of a class A share.
This was interesting but as a person who has no knowledge of the business world I think the show did great with context clues and I never felt lost on the business end.
That makes the show a lot like so many other shows. It is like Malcolm in the Middle, Married With Children, Girls, Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Game of Thrones.
I've just finished watching "The House of Gucci" film which cover the downfall of the Gucci family and the reason why it fell is solely because of greed. And 5 mins later BAM!! How money works drops new video of how Business Deals in Succession Actually Works so i think this is a sign XD
Was sceptical at first, but decided to try it out. REALLY good series! Im in the middle of it, and absolutely love it! And im very picky about watching good series. But this is some Breaking-bad-level quality! Thankyou!!
Yeah just wanna double down on this and say you might be excited to watch this because of finance themes, but you will also be treated to a drama of epic proportions about family and power. People refer to the show as Shakespearean for a reason. It's a real gem.

It technically didn't fail since it still had more assets than liabilities. But it will fail because people are stupid and their psychology will trigger a bank run.
i really expected logan to fumble his words and be a caricature during his speech in season 1 but no. And throughout the next seasons it showed how cut throat and manipulative he is. There really is a reason why hes a fucking billionaire. (Unlike real life billionaires who just inherited an emerald mine and is fumbling his way to success lmao)
Eh, say what you like about Elon Musk, but his work with SpaceX in particular _was_ genuinely revolutionary. Both in terms of the business model and developing reusable rockets, SpaceX single-handedly cut the cost per kg to get stuff into space by a factor of ten. Which to me is more impressive than building a media company.
SpaceX is one thing. Btw, anyone can accuse him of getting contacts on Washington. Another is total lack of inspiration to be as a person, unless you want to be a lil pr1ck that was born with money and a manipulative @ssh0l3. And total f*ck3ry on business.

I do like how they talk in succession. In private the kids don't talk professional and highly educated. They act like people who know they got a lot of money.
During the threat of the margin call why didn't they just reverse split the stock to keep it above $130? I never heard them say it was based on market cap but on actual price per share.
The loan wasn’t made by Waystar Royco, the shares were just used as collateral. They couldn’t reverse stock split the org just because Logan took on a loan too big

Mistake: you said horizontal merger twice. Vertical merger is the first definition you gave, where a company merges with a supplier or customer. (Google/Alphabet buying Android. Totally separate from Google's business. Instead of android supplying an operating system to Google customers & users, Google now owns its search engine, and the platform that many mobile users will use to access its search engine) Horizontal merger is the second, where companies of the same industry merge under one umbrella. (Facebook buying Instagram)
Much better than business or law deals in suits or billions that’s just filled with very stupid sports metaphors. That’s why I like industry. They don’t mess about the actual finance side of the show for their audience
Please do one video on how to avoid political risk using such structures , specifically expropriation of your business in third world countries I know you did one other on the Pandora papers but please focus on avoiding expropriation and whether acquiring a loan from more stable and influential regions would and can keep such moves being done by third world despots
Weird that you sight that it’s the Murdock that the series is based on, considering that the children don’t really give a crap who takes over and there is very little infighting.
Huh - Murdochs two sons do not get along - he broke up his empire between news and entertainment. James took the entertainment part - and Lochlan has the news. It was a Huge deal - that is still having ramifications today. For instance all the regional fox sports channels - were paired off from the entertainment division and sold to an entity bally sports - created by Sinclair - that has since gone bankrupt - and has caused a lot of upheaval in the industry. That all occured because James saw what Fox news was doing to promote Trump - and wanted no part of it. No idea where you get your information from - ( probably faux news ) that would completely make sense. BTW Faux news is being sued- for libel by Dominion voting systems for all the disinformation they broadcast about election fraud - it was totally untrue -and the court documents prove that Faux knew it all along - they stand to lose at least $ 2.7 billion in damages - and the jury may very well award punitive damages considering how egregious the fraud was. That trial begins next week in Delaware - I am sure James feels quite content in not having any part of that fiasco and substantial loss of $.
Hey How Money Works, is there something you could do about all the “I invest with so-and-so and they make me so much money” that appear in your comment sections? I feel like they are scams rather than genuine comments to your videos.
It's fascinating to see how the real life Murdoch family is tearing themselves apart over the trust that Rupert signed when he divorced his second wife... Just like how it was depicted in the series
Don't forget, Secession is an HBO TV Series that focuses on the problematic family relationships of the Roy family patriarch Logan Roy and his four children: Kendall, Shiv, Roman, and Connor.
For each family member on the trust - not in total. Right now in season 4, I think each siblings share is 2 billion. When you add their 6 bil to the other beneficiaries of the family trust, it seems it could easily add up to a 36% stake.
Ah yes, amazing show indeed - "what's that? we need private funding? here's my buddy stewie, the only private equity guy in the world" Bravo Mylod 👏 how does he do it? 🤯
Hit 213k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nugget you have thrown my way since last year. The hedge fund you talked then was the game chaNgeR for me. Since I started working with them everything just aligned for good
It is hard to find such an obscene amount of backstabbing in a family over money even mildly entertaining. If anything this is an object lesson in how generational wealth produces weakness in every capacity possible. This happens in any family in a smaller scale.
I don't know much about the show but if that woman isn't the mother to any of the children she has no business being on the trust. I hate parents like this so much. I would never do my children like this for a fleshlight basically.
I guess I’ll never know but I’d be like Connor and just enjoy my amazing credit score with no limit cards with a huge savings vote on bullshit here and there. I’d be fine with 2 billion net worth
technically it's similar to Murdoch family but after the finale( and overall)murdoch family is probably way smarter than this family:d it's more like writers want that ending in real life but..

@@logisticsdelivery Uncertainty... it took me 5 years to stop trying to predict what bout to happen in market based on charts studying, cause you never know. not having a mentor cost me 5 years of pain I learn to go we’re the market is wanting to go and keep it simple with discipline.
@@victorcardi2019 The one effective technique I'm confident nobody admits to using, is staying in touch with an Investment-Adviser. Based on firsthand encounter, I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch, I've raised over $700k since 2017. Just bought my 3rd property for rental. Credit to Susan Lorraine Curry.. my Investment-Adviser.
Just don't do anything someone in a UA-cam comment tells you to do.
The show is just like any other show with lack of tactical decision making by any of those characters as a prime example
The company is worth 500M-2B? Seriously? Considering how many pies they have their fingers in, I'd imagine they need to add a 0. This is an international media conglomerate, not a well-ish know lawn furniture manufacturer
Hell no! The company is worth atleast 40 billion.
As far as i can remember the 2 billion is the value of the shares that each of the children own.
@@tahasinameen3422 oh ok gotcha, thanks
@@tahasinameen3422 Give or take. SPOILERS: Because Logan wanted to buy out Kendall's shares for 2B. But that would be over market price at the time.
But I believe that 2B was what each got in the end withe th Gojo deal.
Stewie is the best character
Starting to feel like How Money Works stalks my recently watched because I just started this show.
A Corporate Trustee isn't a company but an executor of the Trust
Nice video dude
Mistake: you said horizontal merger twice.
Vertical merger is the first definition you gave, where a company merges with a supplier or customer. (Google/Alphabet buying Android. Totally separate from Google's business. Instead of android supplying an operating system to Google customers & users, Google now owns its search engine, and the platform that many mobile users will use to access its search engine)
Horizontal merger is the second, where companies of the same industry merge under one umbrella. (Facebook buying Instagram)
Much better than business or law deals in suits or billions that’s just filled with very stupid sports metaphors. That’s why I like industry. They don’t mess about the actual finance side of the show for their audience
Started watching this show a few days ago wtf the timing
Who doesn't want to be a rich nobody?
Please do one video on how to avoid political risk using such structures , specifically expropriation of your business in third world countries I know you did one other on the Pandora papers but please focus on avoiding expropriation and whether acquiring a loan from more stable and influential regions would and can keep such moves being done by third world despots
Weird that you sight that it’s the Murdock that the series is based on, considering that the children don’t really give a crap who takes over and there is very little infighting.
Huh - Murdochs two sons do not get along - he broke up his empire between news and entertainment. James took the entertainment part - and Lochlan has the news. It was a Huge deal - that is still having ramifications today. For instance all the regional fox sports channels - were paired off from the entertainment division and sold to an entity bally sports - created by Sinclair - that has since gone bankrupt - and has caused a lot of upheaval in the industry. That all occured because James saw what Fox news was doing to promote Trump - and wanted no part of it. No idea where you get your information from - ( probably faux news ) that would completely make sense. BTW Faux news is being sued- for libel by Dominion voting systems for all the disinformation they broadcast about election fraud - it was totally untrue -and the court documents prove that Faux knew it all along - they stand to lose at least $ 2.7 billion in damages - and the jury may very well award punitive damages considering how egregious the fraud was. That trial begins next week in Delaware - I am sure James feels quite content in not having any part of that fiasco and substantial loss of $.
Hey How Money Works, is there something you could do about all the “I invest with so-and-so and they make me so much money” that appear in your comment sections? I feel like they are scams rather than genuine comments to your videos.
Okayy so now conor is the only one with the vote. damm!!!
It's fascinating to see how the real life Murdoch family is tearing themselves apart over the trust that Rupert signed when he divorced his second wife... Just like how it was depicted in the series
I’m in that series!
Bro really called "Succession" as "Secession" lmao
13:08 Yep, Secession is a great show that I definitely recommend.
In 5:15 mark, it was described how money works to find out how the business deals in Secession actually work.
Don't forget, Secession is an HBO TV Series that focuses on the problematic family relationships of the Roy family patriarch Logan Roy and his four children: Kendall, Shiv, Roman, and Connor.
I’m glad im not the only one that noticed that this show is caled Secession,
Your visa card is so cute
The trust owns 36% of a ~50 billion company. Not sure where you are getting the idea that the family's share is worth $500 billion to $2 billion?
For each family member on the trust - not in total. Right now in season 4, I think each siblings share is 2 billion. When you add their 6 bil to the other beneficiaries of the family trust, it seems it could easily add up to a 36% stake.
Ah yes, amazing show indeed - "what's that? we need private funding? here's my buddy stewie, the only private equity guy in the world"
Bravo Mylod 👏 how does he do it? 🤯
I assumed the tech company angle was about news corp buying myspace, not vice media.
Hit 213k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nugget you have thrown my way since last year. The hedge fund you talked then was the game chaNgeR for me. Since I started working with them everything just aligned for good
This feels like a scam comment
I was so hoping you would use the family guy scene.
Those dbs only gave me 5% off just now. Granted its a good wallet and even full price would be great but...
It is hard to find such an obscene amount of backstabbing in a family over money even mildly entertaining. If anything this is an object lesson in how generational wealth produces weakness in every capacity possible. This happens in any family in a smaller scale.
Everyone wants to go public until they realize that the company becomes controlled by the public.
I don't know much about the show but if that woman isn't the mother to any of the children she has no business being on the trust. I hate parents like this so much. I would never do my children like this for a fleshlight basically.
I for one thought he was gonna give all his money to his second wife, that's why the kids started to fight
I guess I’ll never know but I’d be like Connor and just enjoy my amazing credit score with no limit cards with a huge savings vote on bullshit here and there. I’d be fine with 2 billion net worth
Name of the series?
LoL 😂 where was your attention while watching the video ?
technically it's similar to Murdoch family but after the finale( and overall)murdoch family is probably way smarter than this family:d it's more like writers want that ending in real life but..
it's succession, not secession
It's a closed loop system
it's both closed and open
irony of merger and capitalism... confusion... explain to me
It *sounds* like the host is saying “Secession” instead of “Succession,” or am I hearing things?
Should of mentioned that you had a MAJOR spoiler in this!!!
Being ultra rich seems to be as hard as to be ultra poor. Keeping in the middle works for me goood.
Being ultra rich allows you to decide what's important to you, but doesn't stop fully stop you from making dumb choices. Very much not the same.
Informative video! Also Succession HBO series is in my watchlist now. ☝
I was lost by minute 4...
