With Season 3 of Succession in full swing, Forbes’ team of fictional wealth investigators set out to determine how wealthy Logan Roy and his family really are.

The answer: $18 billion—mostly from Roy’s 36% stake in Waystar, the publicly traded, $46 billion (market cap) media and entertainment giant he founded in his twenties.

The Roy empire also includes at least $345 million in real estate, including Logan Roy’s $52 million palatial townhouse on New York’s Fifth Avenue.

Then there are the actual palaces: the $10 million, 19th-century English castle where Siobhan Roy wed, and the $200 million, 12-bedroom Southampton “Summer Palace”—the most expensive home on Long Island.

There’s also a $40 million Malibu Beach, California, house—which insiders say Logan Roy is not aware he owns, nor would he recognize it on sight.

One thing that would look pretty familiar, though, is the 279-foot, $130 million superyacht, Solandge, that was the setting for the family’s most explosive fight.

With an outdoor swimming pool, a theater and a home gym replete with a sauna, the superyacht has everything the Roys could need for a relaxing escape—which some might want (or need to make) this season.

Solandge even has a helipad, fitting for a family with about $50 million in helicopters and planes, including a Dassault Falcon 7X and Embraer Lineage 1000E.

Logan Roy also has a $10 million, 50% stake in the Scottish soccer team Hearts, which his son Roman gave to him—though he’s a fan of their archrivals, Hibernian.

The Roy family also holds at least $1 billion in cash and other investments, including some priceless items, such as Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis, later found to be a fake.
