Good because Disney stock was down a bit and they own National Geographic.

Rolex Donates to National Geographic

BTW, the stock isn't down a bit; it's down a lot. They lost over 100 billion in market capitalization over the last year or so. ![]() Pathetic organization. I don't know how you can screw up a company that owns marque brands like Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel, ESPN, etc. But that's what they're doing...Anyway, I suppose that's worthy of a dedicated thread in the General Topic forum. |

Excellent. And just one day after I published my story about the recent donations from the Foundation.

Disney, for profit, owns 73%. The nonprofit organization, National Geographic Society only owns 27%. But it looks like Disney donated to the nonprofit organization. So that’s good. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Rolex Donates to National Geographic
The two non-profits are mum about the $value of the contribution. But it will be disclosed in the 2023 annual report.
Stay tuned… 2022 report: ![]() Watch line item 3 if it is a pure contribution. But I’d guess it is a 20-30 year annual grant with a huge NPV figure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I can't tell, are we outraged or thrilled?

It’s nice to hear some good news for National Geographic after they let go the last of their staff writers.

Should we anticipate an attendant price increase?
