The Netflix series “The Royals” may look like a show full of luxury, fast cars, diamonds, and royal tantrums, but underneath the drama lies some powerful money lessons. After the death of Milind Soman’s character, the royal family faces a financial crisis. The estate is no longer self-sustaining, and the younger generation must step up to save their legacy. The show follows young maharaja Ishaan Khattar and Sophie, who is trying to turn the royal palace into a startup Bed & Breakfast.

This is where business founders must balance control with growth. For regular people who want to invest in startups, investing in private equity or VC funds can help reduce personal financial risk.
