Finally, portfolio diversification tips the scales. Peele's $150M likely includes equity stakes in multiple streaming properties, horror IP he owns outright, and production deals across platforms. Coogler's $50M is primarily backend wealth from Marvel contracts and Proximity's Netflix deal—both dependent on continued studio relationships and franchise success. If Black Panther underperforms, Coogler's leverage drops. If Peele's horror franchises underperform, he still owns them, still has Monkeypaw, still has leverage for the next deal. Ownership of assets beats ownership of none. That's the $100M gap.
