Vanderbilt heirs and Cuban's garbage bags: VP Motion explores money
Morgan Housel's inheritance clip drew the biggest audience among seven new uploads, while Mark Cuban revisited his first sales venture.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
The Dark Side of Being a Vanderbilt Heir | Morgan Housel
VP Motion added roughly 620,000 views across its catalog, the largest weekly gain among its nearby self-improvement peers. That came with an unchanged subscriber count and daily viewing below its usual pace. Thach Nguyen, meanwhile, is having a notably busy viewing day.
The clips channel's most-watched new upload, “The Dark Side of Being a Vanderbilt Heir | Morgan Housel,” reached about 30,000 views. Sourced from Tetr College of Business, it has the author of The Psychology of Money discussing Fortune's Children and the constraints he says inherited wealth placed on the Vanderbilt heirs. The replies raise a counterpoint: financial hardship can sharply limit freedom too.
At the other end of the money story is “Why My Dad Made Me Get a Job at 12 | Mark Cuban.” Cuban recalls wanting basketball shoes and starting a door-to-door garbage-bag business after his father told him to earn the money. It currently draws the most daily views of the channel's videos, followed by Robert Herjavec's “Money Won't Fix a Bad Attitude | Robert Herjavec.” Herjavec passes along Barbara Corcoran's lesson about not letting a bad day become a prolonged stay in misery. Between inheritance and first earnings, the week's recurring question is what money can actually change.
