Why Does Japan Still Have an Emperor? - How Money Works Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❀ ___________________________________________________________________________ Japan’s royal family is often forgotten about in the west. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of you watching didn’t know that Japan actually still has an emperor, but indeed
 they do
 it’s this man, Emperor Naruhito. Naruhito ascended to the throne in May of 2019 after his father Emperor Akihito abdicated from the throne. These men are the official heads of state of the third most influential economy in the world, and while their powers are almost entirely ceremonial, however their living standards are anything but. The immediate royal family has over 1,000 staff working for them directly. This roster includes basic essentials like, you know
 gardeners, chefs, plumbers, chauffeurs, secretaries, security personnel not to mention 47 servants PER ROYAL! But this enormous staff also extends to things like wardrobe managers, royal farmers that farm the family’s food, 4 doctors constantly on standby, a silkworm breeder to make sure the family is always decked out in the finest threads, Shinto advisers, and 30 archaeologists tasks specifically to look after the tombs of the family. Beyond just the manpower the Japanese Royal family claims some pretty pricey real estate. If you think the white house or Buckingham palace are ritzy, they have nothing on the Japanese Royal Palace in Tokyo. Sprawled out over 379 acres in the heart of the largest city in the world, this royal residence was once more valuable than all of the real estate in California combined. Nowadays it’s worth about as much as two and a half San Francisco townhouses but that’s a whole other issue. This estate, along with dozens of other lavish estates dotted around the country and over the planet cost a lot to maintain, and that’s why the government of Japan gives the family 11.83 Billion yen (or around 110 million American dollars) every year to keep everything up to a royal standard. This is ON TOP of a personal expense account of 324 million yen or 2.9 Million USD’s for every member of the direct royal family as well as a 269 million yen for every member of the extended family. This is taxpayers money which is all going to fund the ridiculously lavish lifestyle of a huge family that hasn’t actually played an active role in managing the country since world war two, and even back then their job performance wasn’t what I would call stellar. So it’s time to learn how money works to makes sense of how this family justifies their unbelievable operating expenses in a country that has not seen sustained economic growth in nearly three centuries. #Japan #Royal #HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSR Music by Epidemic Sound Follow to learn How Money Works.

How The Wolf of Wall Street Scam Actually Worked - How Money Works Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 it’s time to learn How Money Works to lift the hood on Straton Oakmonts questionable operations and find out how it let Mr. Belfort rake in “almost” a million dollars a week in ill gotten gains. Back before the 2000’s buying stocks was not as simple as going online and typing in a ticker symbol. People would actually call a real living person a stockbroker and give them instructions on what stocks to buy and what stocks to sell. #WolfOfWallStreet #HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Support the channel on Patreon here - https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Music by Epidemic Sound Follow to learn How Money Works.

 “Nobody wants to work anymore” Now
 I really hate to say this but
 by looking at the numbers
 they might have a point
 Labor force participation is approaching generational lows even after the pandemic while labor force participation amongst men specifically is the lowest it has ever been
 These declines have been happening at the same time that unemployment is “theoretically” quite low which (if the economists are to be believed) means it should be easy for people who want a job to get a job right?... Well not quiet
 and these numbers are confusing at best
 or downright misleading at worst. Follow to learn How Money Works.

This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind. #economy #business #money So the stock market has lost more than 5 trillion dollars since its all-time peak which was achieved roughly a month ago to the day this video was uploaded. Asset markets are a forward looking indication of investors' predictions of what the future will look like, and right now those predictions are
 bleak
 We have been talking about “the everything bubble” for a long time now, everything from stocks, to real estate, to precious metals and even really dumb like meme-coins have experienced massive price increases fuelled primarily by wealthy speculators that are running out of things to invest in. [ If you were looking for something that could potentially come along and pop this bubble then you can take your pick
 trade wars, ACTUAL wars, household debt, national debt, mass layoffs, government programs being cut and the biggest problem of all, which is that
 nobody knows what is going on anymore
