@@jacobp8294 well of course. It's one thing to go from 40k to 200. But to loose more than 75% of your salary when you got used to the lifestyle is difficult. 40k in NYC...good luck. I highly doubt Kendall is still letting him have that apartment he lent him in s02. So pretty much his entire salary will go to rent while everyday he's surrounded by million/billionaires.
This scene is a nice illustration of how Greg is the only person Tom trust the feedback from. Greg is the closest thing Tom has in form of a person he can talk to. Which is why Tom in the end is willing to go out of his way to keep Greg around. Through the seasons we see his contemt only grows for Shiv, while the fondness increases for Greg.
In the world of Succession his salary is still kind of pathetic. Remember he passed on a 250 million dollar inheritance for 200k/year to stay with Logan/Tom. It will take him 1250 years to make that up not including taxes. Not only that, Tom specifically told Greg that if he sided with him in the season 3 finale (which he did) he'd have 'twenty of his own Gregs'. That never happened and some jerk off working at Twitter pre Elon made plenty of more money than Greg and didn't have 1/10 the influence Greg had.
Listen, as a new yorker who can't even afford a studio apartment on $52k/yr unless I put 50% of my income towards rent, yeah dropping to $40k would be devastating for Greg, but the way people are acting like $200k/yr is LOW is insane lol. Tom has it right, no assistant with fuck all skills makes $200k, Greg only makes that much as a nepo baby. $200k/yr--especially if you're not paying rent--still means being very comfortable in NYC.
This is the right answer. $200K is a ton of money for most people. It's only when you're surrounded by ultra-wealthy people who splash millions like they're spending peanuts that $200k seems tiny
It's only small compared to his supposed $250mil or $5mil inheritance 😮 it would take 25 years to make $5mil if Greg saved 100% of his money Which is still more money than most people will ever make in their lifetime but man really puts in perspective how rich the rich ppl truly are
Don't know where this late game obsession with shouting nepo baby at fictional characters came from but its clown behaviour. No shit he got the foot in the door based on nepotism, this has been true since season 1 episode 1 but you guys only ever called him a nepo baby when you started to dislike the character. weird behaviour.

He does care about Greg, but not in the way people think. Tom was at the bottom of the family hierarchy, barely a blip on the radar because he's Shiv's husband. He wouldn't be in the room if otherwise. And Greg, while family, is lower than him. He's the only one that he can bully, despite him being Logan's grandnephew. It's an older brother-younger brother relationship if mom was never around to check on the boys. EDIT: fixed some spelling errors.
Plus that's probably his base salary. He likely gets travel paid for, health care of course, shares/stocks and bonuses.... if you look at his whole compensation including the free apartment it's probably closer to a million a year.
Greg turned down $250,000,000 from his Grandfather for $200,000 a year... maybe even $40,000 now... And in New York, that's like, barely enough to live on.
That is if his grandfather sold all his shares on waystar or meets untimely death. Besides, value of share fluctuates. A quarter a billion isn't certain or liquid.

In that world, 200k is nothing to be honest...but a miserable 40k is probably more realistic for someone who is not part of the family. The point here is to gaslight Greg into thinking he's making a fortune (that he should be ashamed of) and that fortune is at risk when he's just getting the scraps. Remember Greg in S1 was making pennies, he doesn't know his worth.
@@ladyluckmisao He's the assistant of the CEO not to a random person. Anyway, he's part of the family that owns billions. 200k are crumbles for them. They probably make that much in 1 or 2 days or less.
Greg isn't bad at making reasonable requests though. Like, why is Greg so good at making deals with people who regularly forget he exists? Because he gives them something they want *now* , and he asks for something they can give him *now* . $200k is nothing for these people but it's a lot for Greg, and that's what matters to him. Climbing is all about finding the next handhold. You don't need to climb all the way up you just need to climb to one higher spot than the last.
This shows just how little people realize billionaires are worth. The siblings each made 6 billion at the sale of the company. They aren’t making 200k every couple days. They are making 200k every 20 seconds, they are making 16 million a DAY
anyone else disappointed/surprised he was only making 200k?? especially where he was the future CEOs right hand man with the promise of having other Gregs underneath him, add to that the cost of living in NYC... no wonder he was relegated to the California Pizza Kitchen when he got his first paycheck.
It's really not a high salary in the world the show takes place in. There's lower middle management in finance making that much in NYC. Greg is exec assistant to the almost most senior chief officer who's likely making millions in annual salary.
On paper he has no worth due to no schooling and no previous industry work experience, that 200k is basically just a representation of the hyper specialized use he developed on himself for the Dots
Law firm secretaries can make $100k a year. Greg being executive assistant to the head of ATN and now the CEO of a fortune 500 corporation, 200k is actually not uncommon.
It absolutely is uncommon and it would only come with many decades of experience and probably responsibilities beyond those typical of an executive assistant.
Well.. Considering that Karolina made a million a year. You can probably say Tom made a little bit more of that because he was a direct boss of an entire branch of the company. But not THAT MUCH. so probably 1.2 million or something. And Tom didn't spend anything either because he lived in Shiv's place. Rom and Ken probably 1.5 1.8... But again, never having to spend actually, because even the cars were company own. So 200k it's a lot for just an assistant 😂😂
You're way low. The Fox News CEO makes $21.75M a year. $4M in cash and the rest in options. And ATN is basically equivalent to Fox News in all regards in the Succession universe.
Tom is head of ATN which is directly comparable to Fox News. Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott is estimated to make $5-8m. so Tom probably makes a lot more than Karolina... She is clearly a competent PR executive but is not directly responsible for any revenue generation.
I feel like Tom in this scene more often than I care to admit. All the way down to the huge promotion. Death is perceived to be imminent, until you’re handed the keys to the kingdom. Then repeat cycle.
I’m rewatching the show for the second time and currently I’m on series 4 episode 6, it’s been very interesting watching Tom change and get serious. You can see in the episodes leading up, that Tom and his Greglet are putting themselves in pole position
Nobody working in media at that level supporting someone so high up is making as low as 40K a year. 200K is not even that much in the world these people are in.
@@RealmDesigner A personal assistant to an executive for a multinational corp based in NYC is making well into 6 figures. No question about it. Tom was just fucking with him.
Tom and Greg’s dynamic is simply the most interesting out of everyone because of why they do what they do: Tom and shiv maybe have gotten together cuz the liked being with each other but at the end of the day they still are around each other cuz they have to for business(they’ve backstabbed, double crossed, manipulated each other and don’t really want to be around the other) while Greg HAD to be around Tom at first for business and Tom needed man power so he chose Greg but despite double crossing and front stabbing they come back to each other… why?? Cuz they want to be around each other cuz they kindred spirits in dirty business still like each other and want the other to succeed if possible.
The only two dudes in the Roy family that seemed to do actual work, and they were constantly blown off the Roy kids. Man, this whole series was just so frustrating (in a good way), watching Shiv, Ken, and Rom just fuck everything up like the unserious, overly ambitious kids they are.
Tom almost fucked himself here by saying this to Greg. He wouldnt have snitched if he didnt think he was getting his salary slashed with Mattson in charge.
Yes he would have lol. This is what Greg has done to literally everyone at every point in this show. He has zero loyalties, he plays every possible side he can at all times.
Shiv voted against Kendall because the siblings bonded over his confession he killed the waiter. Then lied in the finale and said he didn't. Shiv also wanted to save her marriage to Tom with baby coming..
@@TJS1028 That would be very easy, especially if you're like Greg and single with no dependents. Plus Greg doesn't have to worry about rent. Kendall gave him a million dollar apartment for free. People are massively overstating the cost of living in NYC. It's certainly more expensive than the rest of the country, but the median salary there is still only $60k, and the median household income is around $68k. If, individually, you're making even $100k per year, you're well off no matter where you live.
I enjoy the series the missing part is the value of these resources never seem to be placed towards education practical skills or certifications. 200k and $5m dollar apartment Greg should be absorbing information investing in his own infrastructure and it’s dizzy to think that the inversion of this is a the poor man’s climb up the ladder that Tom’s or better Roman’s “Friend” in the parks department. They all reaping the fruits of others discipline and demands more control and opportunity based on unproven results. “Not Serious people”
A year? A month? In US you usually say the annual pay, but $200k (while it would be AMAZING for me) is not that much for a New Yorker who works for guys that own half the world.
@@RightWingRadioShow even if it's per month it's still crazy. You would need more than 100 years to make 250 mil and without spending anything from that salary
@@TheWeastBeast I mean there a reason why he’s the highest paid assistant in history lol. He also a Roy and him getting grossly overpaid as compared to competent professionals would make a lot of sense in show like succession.
Isnt 40k per year almost fast food level of salary? I am not from US but 40k seems to be absurd, considering his position it is almost equal to get fired
40k is above fast food level wages in most areas. 40k is 20 hour. US minimum wage is 7.25 federally, no state has a minimum wage of 20 hour. You cant live in Manhattan on 40k.
Very happy Tom won. Despite its flaws he is least miserable person in the show (with the big exception of Greg) Greg is such an innocent lovable goof. Someone I would be happy to see if my daughter brought him home.
America is a great place where some have so much money, they wipe their butts with $100 bills, while others work 10 hours cleaning toilets for the same $100.
hes definitely talking hyperbole id bet Greg is getting probably like a 100k minimum. which obviously for the class of people hes hanging with probably doesnt feel great
Even in NYC $200k can go a long way for a single 20 something year old who has no rent and is probably expensing every meal to his company card. Only actual expense is the coke on election night.
200k/year and free use of a $5M apartment

working in advertising in nyc, shoulda been like 1.5 mil of his caliber
Nobody working in media at that level supporting someone so high up is making as low as 40K a year.
200K is not even that much in the world these people are in.
You would be really surprised at how many office interns and people trying to climb the pole get shafted.
Somebody from NYC said this is good enough. Since rent is the main expense and he lives free in an apartment.
@@RealmDesigner A personal assistant to an executive for a multinational corp based in NYC is making well into 6 figures. No question about it. Tom was just fucking with him.
@@adamgoodell5805 perhaps it's 200k a month
@@adamgoodell5805 No it's not. You can look it up. An executive assistant in new york making 130k is high.
i love these two... this duo will always be in my heart
This triggered Greg into telling Ken.
Greg stood to inherit a ridiculous amount from his grandfather... Now he's going to be broke in New York
Tom and Greg’s dynamic is simply the most interesting out of everyone because of why they do what they do: Tom and shiv maybe have gotten together cuz the liked being with each other but at the end of the day they still are around each other cuz they have to for business(they’ve backstabbed, double crossed, manipulated each other and don’t really want to be around the other) while Greg HAD to be around Tom at first for business and Tom needed man power so he chose Greg but despite double crossing and front stabbing they come back to each other… why?? Cuz they want to be around each other cuz they kindred spirits in dirty business still like each other and want the other to succeed if possible.
To think Greg gave up an inheritance
Tom and Greg sitting in a tree KISSING
Achievement unlocked: "he highest paid assistant in human history"
Nice one Greg.
The only two dudes in the Roy family that seemed to do actual work, and they were constantly blown off the Roy kids.
Man, this whole series was just so frustrating (in a good way), watching Shiv, Ken, and Rom just fuck everything up like the unserious, overly ambitious kids they are.
I mean Shiv had an actual career as a political consultant. She could have stayed out of it, and just taken her share of the inheritance.
@@Bigbudd0045 that was not enough for her validation wise
Tom almost fucked himself here by saying this to Greg. He wouldnt have snitched if he didnt think he was getting his salary slashed with Mattson in charge.
Yes he would have lol. This is what Greg has done to literally everyone at every point in this show. He has zero loyalties, he plays every possible side he can at all times.
200k？？？ That is much lower than I expected. No wonder Greg wants to betray Tom.
200k monthly will be reasonable.
@haolee that's how much some CEOs of nation-wide businesses make, how tf is it reasonable for Greg)
“The highest paid assistant in history” 😂
Shiv voted against Kendall because the siblings bonded over his confession he killed the waiter. Then lied in the finale and said he didn't. Shiv also wanted to save her marriage to Tom with baby coming..
I love how these two stuck together thru the families bullshittt and made it out on top.
See I assumed Tom Was talking monthly
Being paid 200k for an assistant job makes more sense as to why Greg is so servile and always nervous. I would be too.
I would love 200k a year I would be set for life lmao. Buuuut with how rich everyone else is around him I'd be feeling like 200k was chump change
try living in NYC on 200k
@@TJS1028 That would be very easy, especially if you're like Greg and single with no dependents. Plus Greg doesn't have to worry about rent. Kendall gave him a million dollar apartment for free. People are massively overstating the cost of living in NYC. It's certainly more expensive than the rest of the country, but the median salary there is still only $60k, and the median household income is around $68k. If, individually, you're making even $100k per year, you're well off no matter where you live.
200k a year seems laughably low for a person in his role
He's come a long way from projectile vomiting out the eyes of the Doderick the Dog
Tom is the winner. Outsider who played the game better than any of the Roy children minus Conor who didn’t give a shit and only cared about the money.
It was at that moment Greg decided to make Tom CEO.
My favorite scene in Succession was when Greg slapped Tom.. so brutal and looked real.
I enjoy the series the missing part is the value of these resources never seem to be placed towards education practical skills or certifications.
200k and $5m dollar apartment Greg should be absorbing information investing in his own infrastructure and it’s dizzy to think that the inversion of this is a the poor man’s climb up the ladder that Tom’s or better Roman’s “Friend” in the parks department.
They all reaping the fruits of others discipline and demands more control and opportunity based on unproven results.
“Not Serious people”
Business is about trust just as much as its about competence and skills
@@macseamus835 still you need *some* skills or knowledge or talent
and you need effort
Nothing Greg could make on his own would amount to a single scrap from the Roy tablw
Highest paid assistant in human history😂
A year? A month? In US you usually say the annual pay, but $200k (while it would be AMAZING for me) is not that much for a New Yorker who works for guys that own half the world.
This is not even exaggerated. Not all of those high-paid ppl have skills or experience to sit in that chair.
Sometimes, blood is everything.
Was this a deleted scene?
16.5k a month is crazy
Not bad for a former mascot who threw up on the first day at work 😂
Imagine throwing away 250 MILLION DOLLARS for 200k a year
I'm not sure how much I trust Ewan to deliver on that money.....
It's per month. He made a deal with Logan. Tom was saying 20-30-40k. None of those are yearly salaries.
@@RightWingRadioShow even if it's per month it's still crazy. You would need more than 100 years to make 250 mil and without spending anything from that salary
What was Greg’s title as of season 4?
I think it’s 200k per month. No way would Greg stick for only 200k per year
no no. Logan closest advisers, the ols schools were 1Million a year, greg 200k is reasonable.
U think Greg is making 2.4M a year?
What? No.
@@TheWeastBeast I mean there a reason why he’s the highest paid assistant in history lol. He also a Roy and him getting grossly overpaid as compared to competent professionals would make a lot of sense in show like succession.
@@ishdeephora5077 u r not a srs person if u think greg is making 2.4M a year. good lord lol
I can’t believe they won Succession
He never said a year, could be 200k a month
Tom also likely has no concept of what a secretary actually makes anyway.
Isnt 40k per year almost fast food level of salary? I am not from US but 40k seems to be absurd, considering his position it is almost equal to get fired
40k is above fast food level wages in most areas. 40k is 20 hour. US minimum wage is 7.25 federally, no state has a minimum wage of 20 hour. You cant live in Manhattan on 40k.
I think the pun here is that he's threatening him with 30k a month.
Roger ailes assistant made over 1 million a year.
Very happy Tom won. Despite its flaws he is least miserable person in the show (with the big exception of Greg)
Greg is such an innocent lovable goof. Someone I would be happy to see if my daughter brought him home.
He would rummage to fruition
Anyone know what happened to Greg’s inheritance? I know he was suing Greenpeace 😂
It's pocket change for them to give him that job and salary. When you're a billion you can afford the worlds smallest violin.
by month or year?
i think month
Year
annual
yes, Greg makes 2.4 million dollars a year as an exec assistant...
Momth....busted down to 20 or 30k. That means per month. Not working for 30k a year
200 k?! He practically gets peanuts! I mean, compared to the type of money he's "surrounded" by.
He doesnt really deserve even that
Funny how ppl are thinking it's 200k/year
Funny how everyone thinks it's 200k a year, it's obviously a MONTH. 40k/y doesn't even get you a janitor in NY...
I thought its by monthq
No way a 6'7 guy in finance is making 200k.
I could own a business in a poor country with 200k
America is a great place where some have so much money, they wipe their butts with $100 bills, while others work 10 hours cleaning toilets for the same $100.
I’d gladly take 200k a year to take shit from Tom.
hes definitely talking hyperbole id bet Greg is getting probably like a 100k minimum. which obviously for the class of people hes hanging with probably doesnt feel great
$200k in nyc is nothing. Greg had Kendall’s apartment which is huge.
Even in NYC $200k can go a long way for a single 20 something year old who has no rent and is probably expensing every meal to his company card. Only actual expense is the coke on election night.
@@Mikey25 Correct, rent is normally $36-$60k per year post tax
200k = RD$10,800,000 YO GANANDO ESO AL MES MANDO A TODOS AL DIABLO 😂😂😂😂😂
