Jason Weaver turned down 2 million for the lion king

[ThaBronxBully]

That Investing Plan Sounds Good Until The Other Option Is Lifelong Royalties On A Billion Dollar Disney Empire That’s Being Kept Alive For Generations Upon Generations

I Think Anyone, Even Financial Experts Would Take The Royalties And Run

We’re Not Talking About “Charles In Charge” Royalties This Is A fukking Disney Entity

That’s An Investment W Zero Risk

I think you're missing the point.. You can buy an apartment complex and have cash flow and appreciation and tax breaks. You can also buy stocks and make money easy. The issue is most people are financially stupid and they don't understand money.

This is not groundbreaking news.

With that being said, the odds of the average investor being savvy enough that they would have flipped $2m (pre-tax) and outpaced whatever The Lion King royalties generated over 25 years? Risk-free?

I don't even know what those checks look like and I'm still saying doubtful.

According to Wikipedia, The original Lion King film grossed $968,483,777 worldwide since its release in 1994. Not a billi but damn close.

We don't actually know what percentage Weaver gets paid in royalties, but let's say his mom negotiated just 1% of revenue generated by the film alone.

The Lion King was released 25 years ago, so he's earned $9,684,837.77 off the movie just in royalties, nearly quintupling the initial offer of $2 million, not including the initial $100K he got. That works out to $387,393.51 a year, every year, for sh*t he did when he was 14.

Zero risk, no losses.No property management, nothing. Straight money. That's WAAAYY better that the returns you get by investing normally, even if we're talking real estate.

Not only that, but dude gets additional royalties from when his voice is used in media, merchandise (singing Lion King toys, etc.), so it's probably closer to $500K, or half a million dollars a year. Every year. For 25 years. And he'll most likely get checks for the rest of his life.

Again, zero risk.

This is why I would never take financial advice from the Coli. :mjlolhairfade:

You're really stupid
Had he invested the 1.9m in a s&p 500 fund which averaged 11% lifetime he would have 26 million dollars..My God you nikkaz are stupid.. No wonder why people stay poor..

There's a reason Vlad said what he said. This shyt only makes sense to people who don't understand money..

nikka he wouldn't have 1.9 million to invest...what would he have left after living expenses, agents fees, taxes and other bullsh*t? Probably much less than $1.9 million, I'm sure. :mjlolhairfade:

Also, do you put your entire, pre-tax check in investments and stocks? If so, I'm not the stupid one. :bptchallalol:

Did he make less than $26 million in 25 years off of the Lion King alone? Sure...but making nearly $10 million with zero risks is far from being a stupid choice. It's only "stupid" if you're greedy :kanyebp:

Guaranteed, zero risk money that gets paid no matter what you do beats investing/flipping, bar none. Who's to say he's not also investing a portion of that 500K a year and making even more? :bptchallalol:

EDIT: Decided to look it up, and the S&P 500 index fund average return rate from the past 30 years is 6.622%, not 11%. 11% is the maximum possible return rate, not the average.

Even if J-Weave invested $1.9 million in an S&P 500 index fund at Vanguard (because apparently he didn't need to eat or pay taxes :mjlolhairfade: ) that investment would be $10,073,216.65 over 25 years...almost about the same he's made now.

This is why you're stupid.. The royalties are taxed... So in theory it doesn't matter what numbers we use you still lose.

If you have under 500k don't even talk anymore..

 

[Black Panther]

This is why you're stupid.. The royalties are taxed

And? :bpunimpressed:

It's zero risk. Even if it's taxed, he gets it without having to do sh*t. It's not dependent on him making investments at all, and he can just focus on his actual career (acting and singing) instead of investing. :bpunimpressed:

It's so crazy. Talmbout investing in Apple and all these stocks at 13 years old, throwing the whole 1.9 milly. If it is so easy, some of these coli brehs should be approaching billionaire status.

I wish I had Jason weaver money

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Coli financial advisors at it again.


Jason Weaver essentially “invested” that $2M in the Lion King. How any one is trying to spin that as an L is just hate. Talking about other investments is stupid. He didn’t know shyt about Apple. He (well his mom) knew The Lion King was special, being a part of its production so they invested in that. Nothing wrong with that.

There’s producers that invested way more than $2M in that movie (more than $2M in movies that didn’t perform well, too).

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Boss move Shoutout to his management for orchestrating that. He eating for life off that

 

[who_better_than_me]

i hate how vlad interviews

Reminds me of funk flex. Every time the interviewee bout to drop some key insight, he cuts them off before they can get to the point. Stfu and let the ppl talk.

Had I realized you were in here arguing for 8 pages about how easy investing is, I wouldn't have bothered. Carry on Chedda.

I don't like helping broke nikkaz but you said 30 years? Men lie, women lie, numbers don't

George Lucas did a similar thing with Star Wars, getting royalties instead of a regular director's salary. Jack Nicholson also did this in Batman, and make $60 million+. This is 99% time the smart move, glad his mom had the foresight
