Chapter 496 (1/2)

After a long time together, the husband and wife have long been interlinked.

Janet saw what Simon was thinking at a glance and asked aliya, who had just brought coffee, to get her laptop. Although there is little work on weekdays, as the housekeeper of the Westeros, no one knows Simon's family better than Janet.

Turning on her laptop, Janet called up a document and said to Simon, ”I just did some Statistics recently. Guess how much money you have now?”

Simon just looked at the document with a smile.

Janet is obviously easier to get a lot of accurate data than Forbes, so women's statistics are certainly more reliable than Forbes.

Simon's assets, the easiest to count, or a series of listed technology companies.

Affected by the continuous outbreak of the new technology wave, Cisco and AOL, which have great advantages in the industry and show ultra-high growth, have both exceeded the $10 billion mark in market value this year. Just these two companies have contributed more than ten billion dollars to Simon's personal wealth.

Other technology companies, such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, sun and so on, have also been rising rapidly.

Taken together, as of the last trading day of last week, Simon's total value of technology shares of all listed companies reached $21.7 billion.

Only this point is destined to surpass all the super rich in the world.

However, for Simon now, this technology stock asset is not the most important.

The most important thing, of course, is still Denise entertainment.

successfully completed the merger of MCA, not only showing no time to the dilemma of the Time Warner merger. Danielis entertainment has been developing rapidly in the past year. The rise of Pixar studio's 3D animation, the complete merger of EA game companies, the heavily stock holding of blockbuster share prices and the Osaka Universal Studios plan have made the Hollywood more and more consolidate the Hollywood. The most powerful entertainment company.

Compared with Time Warner, whose market value is still hovering at 10 billion US dollars, Denise Entertainment's current valuation can easily exceed 20 billion US dollars.

Danelis entertainment is just one of the ”four women” in the westero system.

The other three women, cersei capital, igritte and melisandro, have also seen their rapid expansion in the past year.

The value of cersei capital is one of the most difficult to estimate. However, with cersei capital's comprehensive strength at this time, it is absolutely easy for the company to break through the market value of 10 billion US dollars if it goes public.

Igritte, which has an absolute leading position in the field of Internet online, has a more controversial valuation.

However, based on igritte's current revenue and the general p / E ratio of new technology companies, the Internet company's valuation has gone straight to $5 billion.

Melisandro seems to be the most inconspicuous of the four women. However, with the continuous increase of Gucci's revenue scale and the continuous merger of Vanke Yabao, CK and other companies, melisandro's valuation has steadily exceeded $3 billion.

So, just these four women could bring Simon about $40 billion again.

In addition, westero also owns a large regional telecom operator, formerly Bell Atlantic, now renamed Verizon Telecom.

As one of the most powerful regional telecom companies among the seven bell, Simon's bottom price reached $7 billion when the stock market was at its lowest point. The North American stock market recovered rapidly after the Gulf war last year. The wave of new technology also led to the rapid development of the telecommunications industry. If Verizon Telecom is re listed, its market value can reach 10 billion US dollars.

This is another $10 billion.

Then, westero system also invested in a large number of non listed companies such as Nokia, Qualcomm, ATI, and Simon's personal property and land. The total value of these two assets also exceeded US $5 billion.

Finally, although the westero system has experienced many loan mergers and acquisitions or bond financing in the past year, the overall debt of westero system, calculated comprehensively, is still only about $16 billion.

As a result, compared with the $35 billion offered by Forbes last year, Simon's wealth rose again to $60 billion this year.

Janet nestles up to her husband and goes through the documents together. Occasionally, she looks at the man who has finished a super snowball in just six years. This is her man.

After reading the information, Janet waited quietly for a while, and then said, ”I think we need to speed up our preparations for the future.”

The next thing, of course, is about the inheritance of wealth.

The personal wealth of 60 billion US dollars, even in 20 or 30 years, is enough to be ranked in the top of the global rich list. Now in 1992, it is far more than all the other rich people in the world.

For billionaires, the inheritance of wealth is always a difficult problem to avoid.Although occasionally I have the idea of no matter what flood it will be after my death, most of the time, Simon doesn't want the huge business empire he created to fall apart many years later.

In western society, inheritance tax is a difficult topic to avoid.

Because of this, when Simon and Janet got married, the woman did not give up her Australian nationality.

There is no estate tax in Australia.

With Simon's influence on Australia now, it is absolutely impossible for this country to restart the inheritance tax in the future.

In addition, the little guy was put in Australia to take care of Veronica. For more than half a year, the Johnston family also quietly registered Australian nationality for Melbourne westero.

It can be said that the westrow family, Simon is an American, Janet is an Australian, a little guy, has dual nationality.

This is actually some of the layout that the couple quietly made.

Of course, although there are still many problems, the road has come out step by step.

On the other hand, although he decided to pass on his wealth, Simon did not intend to split up these assets and give them to future children, but preferred the family foundation model.

The most important reason why American families such as Rockefeller, Morgan and Ford have been strong for a hundred years is the family foundation, which not only ensures that future generations can not squander the wealth left by their ancestors, but also ensures the long-term cohesion of the family.

On the original timeline, Damen classmates and Warren Buffet, who are everywhere calling for the rich to donate most of their property after their death, are just a cover up to discerning people.

Bill Gates had set up a foundation in the late 1990s. If the super rich really used all his wealth for charity, it would be impossible for him to remain at the top of the global rich list for many years.

So, where is Damen's money?

This is about the foundation structure established by Damen.
