'Succession’ Characters’ Finances, Analyzed by a Money Expert | WSJ As Spent on TV 

And he only wears a date just most the show compared to someone like Kendall

@@ThecrazyJH96little theory of mine, is if you look at what Tom has on his wrist, he essentially upgrades every season.

@@curryboyftwthat’s literally by design… most obvious character progression is seen through Greg, who sort of ends up where Tom begins.

no he is right. You hear of people all the time who won lotto with 5 million dollars. A young guy like Greg would probably be broke in 10 years.

@@jasonshatkin8606 well, he is right, but not for that reason. Lotto winners usually don't have champagne life styles even before they win the lottery, but this guy is used to spending money in a big way. He'll be eating his seed corn before five years are up.

In this economy, 5 Million would buy you an apartment in New York and that’s it 😅 Back to work he goes

​@@KaiayaRulesnoone needs or wants a fkn new York apartment tho. That's smth you get once you already have 2-3 20million dollar estates somewhere where it's actually nice.

True. 5mil would allow me to never work again, buy a house for about a million, invest 3 million (to live off) and then do whatever I want with the last million

What’s even astonishing is it’s not _only 2 billion_ , there are probably a few billions lying around and also extra from his dad’s inheritance.

@@noble_experiment That scene was from early on, not season 4 I believe. So with the gojo deal he made 190$ a share.

it's closer to 8 bill

@@llamapartyy how? It’s about 2.45 bil at 190

@@afonsopires2315 yeah I was commenting on his net worth and how it's not only coming from those 2 billion.

Yeah 'his guy flips them'. One of my friends knows a multi millionaire and that's what he'd do. He'd get a guy, get the guy to buy a whole apartment block and ask him 'how much rent can I catch for this?'

you're close to being a mini greg @@dumblecore

Better check in on those paintings guys, I saw footage of a guy moonwalking out of an explosion at a Freeport in Oslo the other day

Boyet matas’ MATA MATA THE PAINTING IS MY WORK AND MADE FORTH ONE ESPECIALLY JUANICONERTISSE “no prob “

it's 24k but that's still not terrible

Remember in the show it was owned by Logan

​@@NathanielSnider1017 especially for a billionaire... it's literally nothing

@@zamo9266Not by logan but Logan's second wife who's the children's mother. They say in the show she inherited the property.

I noticed that too. Weird. Totally different meaning.

He’s actually talking about a show relating to Texas leaving the union.

Tom was making a big deal about the 200k because Greg was just an assistant. That's why he said he was the "highest paid assistant in the world".

Even their caps are by Loro Piana or Brunello. They're like 4k-6k each.

Neither would Brooks Brothers or J Press be worn by anyone in Succession. Brioni is plausible, but most Anglo-American billionaires prefer English over Italian, so most likely Saville Row (e.g. Gieves & Hawkes)

I made the mistake of wandering into a Loro Piana store a couple weeks ago and found a jacket I’m sure I’ve seen Tom wearing for $4.8k

There is a reason the richest man in the world sits atop a luxury clothing and accessory empire. We should all be selling to the rich

@@merrywalsh2809 which man are you referring to?

My thoughts exactly 😂

and I thought if he says it then he must be correct and I am wrong from many years

well the Roys have some internal civil wars sometimes so it might as well be Secession

i mean season 3 ep 1 was titiled "seccession" hahaha

I wonder if this guy watched the show before he was brought in to do the video.

el em f AYYY oh

Theyre not union leaning are you insane

@@mattpalmer152 It's a joke on how the guy pronounced succession like secession (which has to do with politics)

@@mattpalmer152 missed the joke entirely.

Didn't know the show took place in the 1700's🤔

Tbf my wedding venue cost £16,000….for 12 hours…..but that included food and alcohol I guess.

Spot on!

You were right, Tom of all people. I was so focused on Cousin Greg that I never saw this coming! But then it makes a perfect sense after all!

A standard and not rare black dial stainless sub date is somewhere around $11,00 - $15,000 on the grey market. The variance depends on quality, vintage, box and papers. Again, this is for a standard sub, not a rare version. A gold sub can easily run up to and north of $40k.

@@johnr1350 consider the time period as well - black subs were going for well over 20k during peak easy money (when this was being filmed)

​@@ProbationCoach nah, basic submariners were never worth more than like $16k even at the peak of the market. greg got ripped off and that is in line with his character.

Tom also rocks an AP Chrono.

There was NEVER a steel ceramic Submariner worth 40K. Way under 20K for just regular steel, and around that for an LV on the top of the market moment. 40K would be a gold Submariner at peak market, and that was not a gold one.

Which one? If it’s the first, then he may actually own it

@@jtgd the wedding venue.

@@jtgd Shiv’s mother obviously

His last name sounds like Bonaparte

He looks like a gay matchmaker, what are you on about?

Ha! From someone who is watching Breaking Bad for the first time right now... I agree! He totally has the same broad American bro-speak style!

Haha

That’s actually how you pronounce it tbh suc-cession

I mean… it’s a word, it’s not up for debate or for someone to say how it is pronounced

Yeah I noticed that money guys LOVE this show.

I can tell you dont have money by this comment. You have no idea what a golden goose looks like. Not even a little bit.

You Sound mad bitter bro

Interesting. What other instruments are there for intergenerational wealth transfer? If not a will, how would u go abt a succession plan as complicated as this?

@@leowzhilin First, let me say I'm just an interested amateur, not a professional in these matters. A situation as depicted in "Succession" is complicated, so I wouldn't presume to offer up anything like a legal road map. But there are three facts that make a will unsuitable as the desired instrument. First, it is a public document. Any will that's ever been filed with a court can be viewed by anybody who wants to. If you have a desire for privacy, that is reason right there not to use a will. Second, it requires an executor. That would be a thankless and unpaid task I wouldn't want to take on with a company as large and a family as dysfunctional as the Logans. Third, there is a number of ways a will can be contested in court during the will's probate. Even if the court eventually agrees with all the provisions in it, which is a big "if", the delay in its implementation can drag on for months and years, bringing corporate operations to a near-standstill and promoting uncertainty at a time when a clear corporate course is needed. Hope this helps. A bit lengthy, but I hope worth the read.

@@jdrancho1864 wow, thx for the lengthy reply! I apologize I'm not very savvy with these estate planning things. I just thought it's customary for everyone when they pass, to have a clear, structured will, with clear directions to who gets what. Otherwise it would be a huge contested mess in court. Surely, having a will & some structure to wealth transfer is better than leaving it to the courts? Would the other alternative be hiring a trusted estate planner to distribute the assets? Are there other ways to leave behind your stuff? U can put it in a separate trust for each kid I assume. But u'd still need a will?

@@jdrancho1864lol exactly all these things exist in the series😭😭

The document was just something extra they found, a draft Logan had never showed anyone. Implicitly there was a lot more going on to the family's wealth transfer there

Or that he believes Tom, an executive who hangs out with billionaires and is married to one, would ever come near a $600 suit 😂
