So, are the Forresters still wealthy or are they near broke? | Thread profile

I'm confused at the contradiction of the finances this family currently holds. Not long ago, Eric was signing loan papers and bemoaning that they were on their last legs financially -- which I assume would include Brooke and Ridge since they sunk all their money, mortgaged their homes, etc. Yet Thorne and Ridge apparently can afford these very expensive rings for their perennial fiancees?? ...

I was just wondering the exact same thing. They all used all of their personal assets to help launch the new Forrester so won't they all be ruined if this doesn't go right?

I thought that too. Especially when Brooke left Forrester Orginals. Did they buy her out? Or did she let them keep her money? I'm waiting to the fashion show too!

I doubt it. I don't know many millionares but they use someone else's money not theirs example Donald Trump How many times have we heard he was bankrupt but he still builds hotels and condos eh?

Exactly ..... the rich don't use their own money for business they use our money .....

That's not what Eric said when he was signing that last loan. And who do you mean by "other people's" money??? Those things have to be paid back with either profits or their own money.

Great post Ali. Eric rang Nick and asked to buy back FC, so i do not know where THAT money will come from. Not only the Forresters, but Nick should be in financial trouble aswell. He went into huge debt to buy all the fashion boutiques and still has an unclaimed debt to Mr Golden. Both companies should be in huge trouble. Also did the Forresters buy Brookes stock? How can she work for the...

The money is borrowed from the bank the bank uses money from the people who deposit the money and around and around we go That is called capitalism

How many times have we seen companies go bankrupt, but the owners walk away with millions, if not billions?
