[[spoiler: By the end of Season 4, he has outmaneuvered them all through sheer butt-kissing, slimy double-dealing and opportunism to become the new power at [=WayStar=].

* ButNotTooGay: While he is shown in bed with a man and takes a man, presumably his husband, to meet Roman, he's never shown engaging in anything physical or even discussing his personal life. Could be considered [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that the show doesn't often depict romantic or sexual interactions between ''anyone'', let alone a character with such minimal screentime.

* DarkHorseVictory: A subtle one. In the first season Connor insists on bringing Willa into the siblings and their partners' picture, to which Shiv argues that it can't be done because Willa is a call girl and that will hurt Shiv and Tom's profiles. Several seasons later, [[spoiler:Tom and Shiv are separated]], Kendall and Rava are divorced, [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Tabitha is nowhere to be seen]] and Willa is still with Connor [[spoiler:now as his wife]].

* AntiVillain: He's sleaze like most of the cast, but out of everyone Tom shows the most signs of genuine kindness and morality. It's a relative thing and he's just as capable of mindless cruelty, but he's still relatively more altruistic and empathetic than most of the Roys's inner circle, albeit with it heavily dampened by his weaselly and self-serving personality.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: He openly says that being rich is freaking awesome, and he's not going to pretend he doesn't love every second of it or deny himself any luxuries--and, as he says to Shiv, all the rest of them share his lust for money, so none of them have the right to judge him for it.
