HBO's Succession Billionaire: How Much Is Logan Roy Worth? | Building Fortunes | Forbes

Forbes put its crackerjack team of fictional wealth investigators to the task of calculating Logan Roy’s net worth. The vast majority of that comes from his 36% stake in Waystar Royco, worth $16.4 billion. He’s already lost a chunk of the firm thanks to his divorce from Lady Caroline Collingwood: the English noblewoman and mother to Kendall, Roman and Siobhan owns 3% of the firm, worth about $1.4 billion.
Beyond the Waystar Royco stake, the Roy empire includes at least $345 million in real estate across New York, England, Malibu and New Mexico, $50 million in planes and helicopters, the $130 million yacht and a 50% stake in Scottish soccer team Hearts. Forbes also conservatively estimates the Roys hold at least $1 billion in cash and other investments.
Commenting on the extent of Logan Roy’s power, his longtime friend and Waystar Royco’s former COO Frank Vernon called him a “pal to prime ministers” and “a truth-teller to presidents.” Vernon’s successor (and Logan’s youngest son), Roman Roy, was more blunt: “He can do whatever he likes. He’s like a human Saudi Arabia.”
Methodology:
Valuations were based on information in seasons 1 and 2 of Succession, along with real world research based on real estate values and stock market prices. Representatives for HBO and the Succession production staff accepted questions from Forbes about the Roy family’s net worth and assets, but did not comment as of press time. For the valuation of Waystar Royco, Forbes used the average of two stock prices shown in the show, in Season 1 Episode 3 and in Season 2 Episode 2. We also took note of references to the family’s stake in Waystar and the company’s market capitalization. Tom Beadle, media analyst at UBS, also consulted on the valuation of Waystar Royco. The value of the Solandge yacht was provided by yacht valuation experts VesselsValue.

The castle in England doesn't belong to Logan Roy, it belongs to his ex-wife's family. Caroline is an aristocrat so that estate belongs to the Collingwood family. It's mentioned in season 1.

[@chadsworthgigafuck7076]

But they said he paid for the wedding?

[@feyrol42]

@@chadsworthgigafuck7076 he did, but the estate still belongs to Caroline’s family. It’s probably one of the reasons why she wanted the wedding in England. Logan paid for the catering and everything else that comes with planning a wedding. The venue isn’t the only thing that comes with that cost.

[@iambrian769]

Good Show👏

[@ByronShears]

Wow!

[@evangelionl0vr857]

Wrong. In episode 3(?) of season 3 Adrien Brodys character tells Logan that he lost 10% of his 4% share, and that it is equal to a loss of 300Million. If you back calculate, you find that 300M is approx 0.4% of Waystars valuation which puts it at about 87B prior to the loss, taking the loss into account it’s still worth approximately 78-79Billion at the current time of the series.

[@evangelionl0vr857]

If Logan does have 36% stock, this would put his net worth of company assets at around 28 Billion. I would say he is worth around 30-32 Billion taking everything into account.

[@1992andyroo]

Yeah you’re right. Roman mentions that the company is worth $85 billion in the latest episode, and Logan owns 36%

[@nepkinas2557]

@@evangelionl0vr857 he didn't own 36% stock, I think he owned 36% of the voting rights... some shares hold by investors are non-voting so I think his stake could be smaller

[@danieldecastro6767]

Didn’t Logan say that if the family sold their shares at the company they would get 11billion?

[@nosao2748]

Accurate enough... If they began to sell all of the family's stock (35%) the price would plummet, which would leave them a few billion short at the end of it.

[@1992andyroo]

@@nosao2748 yeah but selling them off, versus a buyout is a very different thing. With a buyout they’re selling their shares for a set price per share. A regular sale of shares would be subject to the market price of the shares.

At the bottom of the image was a line that said that no one works to become a billionaire. So yeah, we should be taxing multi millionaire and billionaire individuals and corporations in this country more then we currently are!
