Summary

In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, running a museum-style attraction, the club learns that knowing your resources and keeping track of your inventory is what keeps a business running smoothly. A ~22-minute animated story that makes a financial-literacy idea easy to drop into a social studies or economics lesson — with investor Warren Buffett as the kids' mentor.
