Who Knew that the online cosmetics skincare market was so competitive! In this video, we take a macro look at the 523 Billion Dollars that are at stake. #BSTYN #JamesCharles, #Economy.

With so much money at stake; no wonder, YouTubers such as James Charles and Hyram are so valuable to the cosmeceuticals skincare industry. Today, James Charles essentially attacked the integrity of Alicia Keys. James Charles has now apologized to Alicia. Why? Because so much money is at stake! Let's explore the world and economy of online cosmetics.

Some of the Transcript: James Charles is angry at Alicia, he puts out a tweet, basically trying to shame Alicia Keys into this idea that hey, you're not into skincare you're not into makeup, so stay out of my line! Well that got us thinking here at Be Smarter Than Your Neighbor!, how much money is actually involved in this online beauty industry? How much is this industry worth, and how much money is floating around the system? So let's take a look at the money. The first thing that I'm going to look at here's something by Pamela Danziger.

So, Forbes Magazine did a huge expose on Kylie Jenner and the idea that she's no longer a billionaire. Here's why Forbes Magazine is wrong and why the Jenner Family has the more savvy businesswomen. #BSTYN #Kylie #Forbes

We'll explore COTY and its acquisition of Kylie's cosmetics company; we'll see how they over paid for the acquisition; and, we'll see why COTY and other cosmetics firms such as ULTA failed to understand Instagram Influencers.

From the article: "So when the youngest of the clan, Kylie Jenner, sold 51% of her Kylie Cosmetics to beauty giant Coty in a deal valued at $1.2 billion this January, it was a watershed moment for the family. One of the greatest celebrity cash-outs of all time, the transaction seemed to confirm what Kylie had been saying all along and what Forbes had declared in March 2019: that Kylie Jenner was, indeed, a billionaire—at least before the coronavirus."

Here is a full explainer of all the complex money talk and hedge fund jargon that was used in tonight's episode of the TV Show Billions on Showtime. #Billions #Showtime #BSTYN

In a simple way, we go over all the various financial terms and concepts that are covered in this episode of Billions. We explore and recap season 5 episode 3: ‘Billions’ Season 5, Episode 3 Recap: Subjugate and Conquer.

We look at Taylor and Mase Capital's asset divestiture; we look at Axe and Wags trying to become and bank; and what exactly are they trying to accomplish by getting a bank charter? We take a look at large college endowments; we look at Basel Accords; and, we look at Bank Charters via the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

In this jammed packed episode we take a good look to understand the concepts of the stock market and the tv series.

From the New York Times: "Not in Bobby Axelrod’s world, though, that’s for sure. Axe spends the episode questing after three things. First, he wants to become a bank. He’s informed by the government officials Todd Krakow and Hard Bob (played by the actors Danny Strong and Chelcie Ross in deliciously sleazy cameos) that there is no way for him to get past the regulatory agencies that want to keep men with criminal histories like his away from banking; his mistake was committing his misdeeds before becoming a bank, while the megabanks that caused the 2008 crash and got away largely scot-free did it the other way around. But there’s still hope that he could secure a state charter, particularly since he knows his way around the New York power structure so well."
