Why Do Family Fortunes Disappear? - How Money Works | How Money Works

Why Do Family Fortunes Disappear? - How Money Works Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈-----John D Rockefeller was the richest American to ever live, as well as being the founding member of the three-comma club as the worlds first billionaire. At the height of his fortune a few years before his death he was worth an estimated 1 billion dollars which may not sound like much compared to today's tech bro’s, but this was back in a time where the USA’s annual GDP was only 39.1 billion dollars.This meant that his fortune was 3% of America’s GDP. Adjusted for inflation to 2020 dollars this would give ol John D here a fortune of 450 billion dollars. Or more than Elon, Bill, and Jeff combined. But where is this fortune today?Of course John himself died almost a century ago but if there was any fortune that was going to indefinitely set up future generations surely it would be this one right? The same goes for most of these historic moguls, the fortunes of everybody from carnage, to the medici have more or less faded into total obscurity, outside of maybe a few names plastered on random buildings… (buildings that they don’t even own mind you)…Now you might think you already know the answer, oh these fortunes get split up amongst children and then children’s children and then children’s children’s children until it was spread so thin amongst latter generations that it became almost totally irrelevant.But that’s not entirely true… What’s more is that the real reason for the fall of these financial empires can tell us a lot about how money works as it has been passed down through generations and history. #Wealth #Finance #HowMoneyWorks Follow to learn How Money Works.

Good CEOs Should NOT be Visionaries. | How Money Works

Good CEOs Should NOT be Visionaries. Thank you Helix for sponsoring! Visit https://helixsleep.com/howmoneyworks to get up to $200 off your Helix mattress, plus two free pillows #helixsleep Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈-------The FTX Bankruptcy has shed light on a lot of bad business and investing practices both within the company and outside of it. One of the biggest issues that now seems funny in hindsight was the undue attention placed on the businesses founder and CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried or SBF as he is better known amongst recently bankrupted crypto bros. In the lead up to its eventual collapse, SBF arguably got more attention than the multi billion-dollar organisation he ran. Unsophisticated financial commentators all the way up to the worlds largest venture capital firms were captivated by the fact that he wore the same sneakers as their grandparents and drove a Toyota corolla. As the FTX story unfolds allegations are now coming to light that this geeky persona was little more than a carefully curated image and that Bankman-Fried would go so far as to intentionally act erratic with outside investors because it furthered his image as some kind of misunderstood visionary genius. But what was for some reason a big selling point for SBF and his doomed companies should really be a cautionary tale for all of us. Visionaries do not make good CEO’s and to take it a step further, good CEOs should not be visionaries. It’s easy to throw stones at the rubble of a bankrupt company like FTX, but celebrity CEO’s have become a genuine problem that might be costing us all a lot of money even if we don’t directly invest in their companies. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why knowing who the CEO of a company is could be a really bad sign. #ceo #business #howmoneyworks ------Credits:Thanks to EdEd6767 for the photo at 7:19https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Exterior_of_YouTube_Space_Kings_Cross.jpgEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group Follow to learn How Money Works.

This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#realestate #housingmarket #money -----Affordable housing has become THE defining challenge of this generation not only in America, but across most of the world. House prices have grown so much faster than wages that young people will struggle for years JUST to save a down payment, all so they can struggle for DECADES to make the RE-payments on their mortgage. At the same time we are told that our home is our biggest asset, and the last time the real estate market saw a significant dip, it took the global economy down with it. So can we make houses affordable… without destroying the economy?According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau the homeownership rate in America is sixty five point six percent [65.5%] so the majority of people have a direct financial interest in not seeing their biggest financial asset lose its value. This is in SPITE of the fact that according to a study by the CATO institute EIGHTY SEVEN percent [87%] of Americans are worried about the cost of housing which means there is a big overlap between people that want affordable housing… as long as it isn’t theirs. This means the only winning course of action for politicians is to performatively make the problem worse. Administration has announced plans to offer tax credits of up to $10,000 to families selling their home to another owner occupant in addition to another tax credit of up to $5,000 to offset mortgage rates for first home buyers. These could be used in conjunction with a TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR [$25,000] bonus for first generation homebuyers.BUT if you are a new buyer and you get $40,000 worth of extra tax bonuses and grants, all that will do is make affordable housing… $40,000 more expensive which doesn’t really make you any better off overall. So just making houses cheaper isn’t enough to make houses more affordable UNLESS you look at some radical… and not so radical solutions, that won’t be politically popular… but just might work…So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out if you can make the houses affordable… without destroying the economy in the process.

Whether it’s downsizing, outsourcing, streamlining, understaffing, or automating, if there is something a business can do to get rid of workers and their salaries, you better believe they are going to do it. But this time does feel a little bit different. Recent AI advances have been mocked for not quiet living up to the bold claims of their tech bro founders. But even in their current, imperfect form, LLM’s, general use robots and generative models are ALREADY replacing jobs and they are getting better every day.So that’s bad for workers, but if you are a senior corporate executive or company owner, maybe you should be asking yourself…If we automate everybody’s job… who is going to buy all of your stuff? I have some good news and some bad news for your theoretical company. The good news is that labor reduction systems of all varieties have ALREADY cut out millions of manhours in America alone and made the workers who are left more efficient at their jobs. Artificial intelligence is just another tool that your company can use to get more work out of fewer staff or replace teams entirely. Even here at little old works media group we used to have someone working part time whose job it was just to cut out images on Photoshop to use in our goofy little animations. Now Adobe Suite has inbuilt AI features which can automatically remove backgrounds from any image with absolutely no human time or skill involved. Now if you still think that sounds a bit depressing, well welcome to this channel, but also, I should tell you that market trends say this is already happening… AI isn’t going to change YOUR world, it’s just going to continue a trend that’s been happening for years now. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out if how companies are adapting to a world where nobody can afford anything anymore. Follow to learn How Money Works.

You Don't Want To Start A Business - But It's Important That You Think You Do - How Money Works | How Money Works

You Don't Want To Start A Business - But It's Important That You Think You Do - How Money Works Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈-----The culture of being an entrepreneur, or an investor, or a freelancer is increasingly driving young professionals to pursue career paths that are truly not in their best interests. Now starting a business can of course be incredibly rewarding, and I might sound like a bit of a hypocrite here because of course I started this YouTube channel (at least in part) because I thought it had the potential to be very profitable… and it has been which is great. But I am also well aware of the fact that I have been extremely lucky, (like winning the lottery levels of lucky) even to get to where I am today. I am also aware that a YouTube business is about the easiest possible business in the world to run. The product distribution, advertising, accounting, server hosting and invoicing are all handled for me. It’s also incredibly low risk. If my channel never took off, I would have wasted about $300 in equipment and software subscriptions… Now I bring up YouTube because it’s one of the defining examples of a business model that is perpetuating the idea that if you are not a “Hustler” you are failing at life. So if you have ever even subconsciously thought that you are destined to be a business owner then it’s time to learn how money works to find out why it might not be all it’s cracked up to be. #Entrepreneur #Career #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic Sound Follow to learn How Money Works.
