The Massive Wealth Of the Fictitious ‘Succession’ Family

Looking at the accumulated wealth of the fictional Roy family of HBO’s show Succession, the final episode of which releases Sunday evening. 

Key Details

  • The family’s ownership in the company Waystar / Royco is worth around $25 billion.
  • The real-estate holdings add to up to more than $370 million.
  • Private jets, helicopters, and a yacht are valued at about $320 million.

why it’s news

With the final episode of Succession scheduled to be released on Sunday—ending four seasons of corporate intrigue, family in-fighting, and mammoth displays of wealth—we take a look at the finances of the Waystar / Royco media empire owned by the fictitious Roy family.

Forbes calculated the family wealth from details sprinkled throughout the 40-some episodes of the HBO drama. 

The family has a $24-billion ownership of Waystar—a 36% stake in the publicly traded, $67 billion media and entertainment conglomerate.

Patriarch Logan Roy holds around $350 million in real estate—including the Fifth Avenue townhouse that son Connor buys for $63 million upon his father’s death. 

There is the $10-million castle in England that served as the setting for daughter Shiv’s wedding to Tom. 

The $200-million, 12-bedroom “Summer Palace” beach house in Southampton on Long Island.

Add to this total the rarely visited $40-million beachfront home in Malibu as well. 

There is the 130-foot, $279-million yacht Solandge.

The family owns more than $75 million in helicopters and private jets as well, including a Dassault Falcon 7X and an Embraer Lineage 1000E. 

And if Lukas Mattson gets his way and buys the company for $197 per share—a 50% premium over the $130 share price—the family’s wealth will increase substantially.

What the Debt Ceiling Means For Americans

debt ceiling

The debt-ceiling battle is still raging on Capitol Hill, and the unresolved issues could have lasting effects on the average American’s investments. 

Key Details

  • Politicians in Washington have been arguing over the debt ceiling for months, and the deadline to lift it is drawing near. 
  • If lawmakers fail to agree, the U.S. could default on its debt, resulting in a lack of access to government benefits like Social Security, Medicare, and military benefits. 
  • The lack of a resolution could also mean trouble for the U.S. stock market. In 2011, a similar standoff resulted in a 16% drop in the S&P 500 over 10 days and the U.S. government receiving a credit downgrade, Bloomberg reports.
  • For investors looking to protect themselves against a potential default, diverse investments may be the best protection against an unstable stock market.
