Right, Jack? The oil crisis rocks the global economy and the IPO market freezes. Yeah. So word starts to get out that the company is looking to sell. Instead of IPOing, they're going to sell the Jacuzzi company. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. And they decide, yes, it's time to sell the company.

The family's decision to sell the company when faced with internal conflicts and financial pressures, it shows the importance of knowing when to exit or when to seek external investment. For the Jacuzzis, that time was now. Yeah, it was. The company will change hands a few more times across the next 40 years, eventually landing with a European investment group, Invest Industrial.

The brand's estimated global revenue is $877 million as of 2023. So as prospective Yetis, less than a billion dollars for a brand that we all recognize. Honestly, it's way tinier than I expected at this point, Jack. It's barely grown since 1999. So Jacuzzi's revenues are less than the revenue from Deadpool and Wolverine. But still, the family got what they needed back in 1979.

They got liquidity, even if not every member feels like they got what they wanted. And despite its travels through private equity, Jacuzzi is still here as a brand. It is still the most recognized Whirlpool brand in the world. And today, you can find a jacuzzi in most mid-priced hotel chains and in a suburban dentist's backyard. But it's still considered by most economists to be a luxury good.

There's nothing worse than getting sent back to the wrong place to the wrong time in the wrong outfit check. Always pack a second speedo. So, Nick, I've slipped into something a little more formal to wrap up the show with you. I appreciate it.
