NEW from Inheritance: the Agnelli family, the equivalent of Italian royalty. Their influence extends far beyond business into politics, sport, culture and Italy's national identity. Their empire includes Fiat, Ferrari and Juventus Football Club. But when the family is hit by a series of tragedies, it causes a fracture that will echo down the generations.
When you’re born into a powerful business dynasty, what comes first: the family or the firm? And when it comes to passing on control, who gets the top job? Inheritance explores the family dramas behind some of the world's biggest businesses.
Previously on Inheritance: Samsung. When the Samsung Chairman has a heart attack, his heir is pushed into the spotlight. The complex manoeuvring to secure his succession re-opens old family wounds, prompts one of the biggest scandals in South Korea’s history, and – eventually – helps to bring down a President.
