Chinese proverb “Wealth does not last beyond three generations” The first generation grew up poor, as adults they strove, lived frugally and built wealth. The second generation saw the wealth being built and understood how hard it was. They continued to build but enjoyed a higher lifestyle. The third generation grew up rich, never understood how that wealth was built. They take it for granted, live lavishly until all the money is gone.

The version I've heard was, "from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations." (Shirtsleeves I think referring to those protective coverings clerical workers and such used to wear in the late 1800s/early 1900s that went up to mid upper arm.)

We don’t need to speculate because we have real world examples. I stick with three: 1) The Saudi Family oil princes. We know they are BEYOND rich but no one has actually looked at their books. Official or otherwise. 2) Muammar Gaddafi. This story is a few years old but they are uncovering some of his plunder that he stockpiled and he may be one of the richest men who has ever lived based off of the assets. 3) Drug cartels. For obvious reasons, mainly they deal in cash as it’s harder to track.

Ditto. It doesn't seem like it "disappeared", or the families in question in this video aren't the best examples to claim that the fortunes disappear. And you're right, if I were a Rockfeller descendant in this age, flaunting money would be the last thing I'd do, since A: I already have more than enough for another 10 generations B: All the stuff, estates, influence etc are already bought C: The funds are structured properly - all I have left to do is just enjoy life and not screw it up, keep low profile, which, most likely, they have done for last decades and will for decades to come. Same as Rotschilds - who can actually claim what they own and do at these times where the most precious commodity is privacy, which they can afford.

None of them have direct control its like a company, they all vote on what the trust should do and for the most part the trust just provides them each with what they need to live a comfortable life without making a scene. Trust fund baby is a term for a reason. Depending on the size of the trust it can cover just specific expenses like health or education or be more broad and cover housing, living expenses, major purchases (cars, boats) etc. For the descendents it like having the worlds best scholarship just for being a _insert last name here_.

@@pratikpatel1690 I believe most major banks have a branch for it, at least for those who want to set up money for their family even if it's not in the billions. Although in Canada, they've been a lot more strict on taking money out, requiring the higher taxes to be paid, even if someone is taking out money for a dependent, it uses the higher rate. So while I'm not sure about the US, I'd imagine taxes play a part, especially if it's anything like here with taxes to take out money, and then sales tax on top of that. It is certainly interesting to learn about.

Second part is not neceserly true. But do not think money as money(something you use to trade) instead think it as a currency. A currency will circulate meaning modern "money" needs to move not stay staionary. So don't think it as turning money into assets(most assets will not apreciate in value, so you need assets that will create value on their own), instead think as using more money. This is why your first point stands true. More money means you can buy more therefore, you can buy more thinks that will create additional value. And remember that inflation works differently from the country a to b because their currecy equals something different.(For that you can thank the US for breaking out of the gold worth of a money)

It's also worth mentioning that it's only relatively recently that broad-based low-fee index funds have been a thing. You couldn't just dump all your money into SPY in 1920 and get the S&P 500 return. You either built a diversified portfolio yourself (which cost you a lot in commissions and fees - thus lagging the broader index by a few percent) or you took a lot of idiosyncratic risk with a non-diversified portfolio (which you still paid lots of commissions and fees on compared to today). This matters more to ordinary people than to billionaires but it's an important thing to keep in mind any time anyone uses the S&P 500 as a metric. For most of history getting "market" returns was difficult.

No, because while his wealth was 3% of GDP, that's just putting it in terms of a yearly output. His wealth was based on the value of his shares of companies he owned. Plus other assets. The GDP is complied from the total value of spending. To say 3% of GDP is to say her could spend another 3% of the GDP, only the federal government compares in terms of single payer effecting the output of the nation on a large scale.

If you do not continue to "generate" more wealth than is being "destroyed", then eventually you are left with the prospect of bankruptcy and all of your assets disappearing to pay off your liabilities.

It proved to be somewhat of a curse, as shown by the years 1960-1980, as most of the ones alive during those years, were just waiting for their money, while their parents spent it, and they got fairly little. The English side faired a little better, after one lady donated land, to a girls school, and people realized the money was gone, perhaps 1970's.

I've visited a lot of national trust and historical houses over the years. I noticed wealth very seldom stays in a family for more than a few generations. I looked into it and the data seems to support that claim. Three main reasons; 1. Taxes 2. being born into a rich family means you are too comfortable and haven't learned to hustle so you end up pissing it up the wall. 3. Well it's tough to keep picking winners. Markets and businesses are volatile. Staying top dog is difficult. You have to know things others don't on so many fronts and be lucky. That only lasts so long.

Assuming 30 years between generations, 18 generations would be 540 years ago. If your ancestor started with 1,000 and its was doubled each generation, you should have a fortune of atleast 131m (assuming 3% inflation over 540 years, it would be 8m in todays value, and a real seed amount of 62.)

@fateluckandtime
@fateluckandtime 3 года назад
@Luís Andrade I never said that B&M F are bad/evil. I'm just saying its literally on the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation website that they are about agricultural development. You just need to fulfil a basic charitable benefit. So you *could* buy the land and hire locals to farm it. You could then give food (the charity benefit) and sell extras. The land value then increases, giving the owners profit. You could also say the farms offset global warming by absorbing CO2 as charitable benefit. You could then sell carbon credits for more profit. There are countless ways to do it. You could donate the land, to the charity for farming, but sell the air rights for profit then pay yourself a wage. These are just examples of the many ways you *could* abuse the system (I'm not saying B&MG specifically do, just that they could, and others could just as easy). They also have a goal of promoting sanitation and hygiene. So one thing they do is research their "reinvented toilet" (Free Research & Development + tax deductable). You then could make a subsidiery that produces these toilets, and sell them to yourself. Or build the toilets for $5 then donate them claiming they are worth $15, giving you a $15 tax write off for a cost of $5 (its what ppl do with art all the time). You could also donate money to political candidates and in exchange have them pass legislation for you that lowers costs, taxes, changes zoning laws, eases requirement, etc the benefits of which could easily outway the money you donated (aka profit). Plus you get to write off the contributions from your taxes. There are also cases like the "Cancer Fund of America" which only gives "2.5% of its donations to support the families of cancer victims and fund cancer research". So charities don't actually need to be that charitable in the first place. There are clearly plenty of ways to hide money, and to get profits from charities. Its just a more elaborate form of 'astroturfing,' but with tax benefits. Some charities are good, like "Water" and some are just tax havens.

The "Cancer Fund of America" as mentioned only uses 2.5% of their donations for the advertised cause. Most of the other money goes towards James Reynolds, whom runs it. This blatant misallocation of funds IS legal, and is not defined as profit. However it does distribute wealth to the CEO. People can make money off charities, but thats not the main point. You don't need to profit in order to hide your money. Like with the Clinton foundation, its not important if its "your money" or the "charity's money"; whats important is who controls what is done with the money. If you want your money to do something, then you can make a charity to accomplish that task. This means you choose what happens to your "donated" money, ultimatly maintaining control of it, while also getting tax write offs. The more money you make as a person, the more valuable tax deductions are since you get into a higher tax bracket. Thus (back to the main point) family fortunes wouldn't be picked away into nothingness by donations and taxes (as the video suggests), because the donations offset the taxes. The rich are just better at hiding their money than they used to. They can put it in private places making it impossible for the public to track. So we don't really know how rich people are. Look up the "panama papers," if you want to see how numerous ultra wealthy families hide their money in tax havens. These dinasties arn't dieing, they're just quieter. Donating to charities doesn't harm their wealth as much as people think it does.

Yh the fortunes haven't just disappeared. The only reason we know of rothchild is because he was the richest. The Forbes richest list doesn't even show anyone not in the top 500 people. You could be 501 and no one would know of you. People underestimate the amount of wealth in the world when you add assets into the list. The is no single man who is a trillionaire but there are many many companies who control well more than this in assets. I worked for an insurance company that would insure 1 type of asset, buildings. I'd work on an accounts where companies had trillions in building assets alone. It was a simple minimum wage job but it made me realise the insurmountable wealth in the world. I also believe there are people who are rich enough to be on the top Forbes list but manage their wealth in such a way to make them appear less wealthy i.e. royalty. The wealth has already been accumulated so its impossible to track. It's thought that the British queen is actually the wealthiest people alive today but it's impossible to track and of course she would never outright say that because of the colonial connotations.

Ending is intriguing because this ever more powerful 'Charitocracy' thing is becoming a major social and financial topic we need guys like 'How Money Works' to dig through and infographic us with. Recently I was in Laos and the longer I was there the more I saw into the levels and levels of NGOism, Charitocracy bureaucracy and yes indeed, in fact, as I began living and touching among it - thousands of people who run charities, non-profits, then the powerful elite 'NGOs' and they all do it for.. themselves. They are the mini-Rockefellers and the little Upper-Middle bourgeoise. In some cases, its just a dozen people who've pretty much found a way to have a very comfortable 'Holiday outpost job' or really call it a very early retirement lifestyle. For some others, there are big shots, the money people, the BMW class who got a real sweet cash operation going and they seem to have all kinds of businesses going on alongside the 'NGO'. Climate this, environment that, coffee beans, a lot of the magic word 'sustainable', all kinds of charity and all kinds of human rights something-somethings. Lots and lots of money for some. I cannot say I've ever seen any real difference for villagers, it's as polluted as ever, its as 'climate changed' as ever, I don't know where these 'rights for 3rd world girls only!' are happening but I can tell you this: That culture has developed and is increasingly developing a severe case of 'hand out syndrome' where they are quickly learning that the way the economy works is you find a foreigner and hold out your hand and ask for money then take that money home and squirrel it away. That, they understand, must be how it works. I have seen some clever poor people who innovated for a need, a market 'demand' and filled it. Some european charity people also saw that and found a way to get a ton of money brought over to pay some other villagers to assemble the same things and with european 'cant fail' funding they quickly drove the original innovators out of business. It's horrible.

Wealth gets distributed among the descendents & heirs too at each generational cycle. Say you start with the equivalent of $200 million wealth today in the 1820s. The wealth gets divided up to the sons (and maybe daughters), and other relatives upon death of the asset holder. And then, each generation sees the division of remaining wealth among the ever increasing numbers of heirs. Come current year, each living descendant probably has a tiny fraction of that remaining wealth of their ancestor. Business failures, divorces, frivolous spending, squabbles over money, inflation etc. would also affect the amount of remaining wealth. Big estates also become more expensive to maintain over the generations, as labour costs increase, maintenence costs increase, and yes, land taxes.

He instead only uses his own earned money to buy stuff for himself - the family estate is used to upkeep properties like his mansion and associates grounds, as well as other investments.

I don't think it's fair to say that family fortunes 'disappear'....they are just hidden (point #3). If you delve even toe-deep into family offices you'll see that most of them have their initial wealth arising sometime in the 19th C. That is not 'fortunes disappearing'.
