Thomas was not an aristocrat, but a businessman. He was a businessman. After Tomáš's untimely death, Jan Antonín Baťa took over the family business. Could he walk in his older half-brother's shoes?
After Tomas died, they opened the safe in his study. They found two envelopes inside. In one was the will and in the other the contract of sale. Antonín didn't just get the company as a gift. The real price of the company is estimated to be up to a billion crowns. Tomas sold it to Jan for only 50 million. These were to be paid to Tomáš's wife and son so that they would be provided for and Ján would become the head of the company.
