Kevin O'Leary (Shark Tank) on Tips For Growing Wealth, Labubu and FTX

Kevin O’Leary, AKA Mr. Wonderful, joins Nicole for a wide-ranging, no-BS conversation about building wealth, protecting it, and enjoying it (but maybe not with a $5 coffee… or maybe yes?). They debate whether people should treat themselves to that latte, unpack the investment rule that shaped Kevin’s fortune, and dive deep into today’s economic landmines—from real estate and crypto to celebrity prenups and the collectibles craze (spoiler: Kevin’s Labubu is worth way more to him than you think). If you're a newbie investor, you won't want to miss where Kevin says he'd invest $1,000 right now. Plus: Kevin shares personal stories on his marriage, prenups, and how his mother’s money wisdom still guides his financial decisions today.
