Watching #Succession and trying to understand why kids worth billions can’t just use those billions to start new businesses…
I observe the family dynamics and understand family systems like this. I still think the question is fundamentally unanswered. The show would benefit from someone speaking for the audience in this regard, just to better understand each character’s motivation.
As well as just the practical aspects of what it is to HAVE billions v. run a company WORTH billions.
Do they fear loss of status? Power? Losing the chance to prove themselves? I’m not convinced we are actually shown enough to know each individual character’s motivations.

“They want their father to love them” is just not enough for me. Nor is, “They want to prove themselves to their father.” LOADS of children want the same from their parents but not all of them stick around to endure this kind of abuse. Many do.
Either way, I want to know each character’s why and I am not sure that I do.
