Summary
In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, launching a sweets business teaches the club to plan their costs, set a price, and figure out how to earn a profit before the first sale — real financial planning for a startup. 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.
