Secret Millionaires Club is a children's educational animated TV series that aired on The Hub / Hub Network from October 23, 2011 to January 11, 2017. Qubo would later air reruns of the series from 2016 until its closure in 2021. The series focuses on a famous investor Warren Buffett as a secret mentor to a group of kids who learn practical life lessons during their adventures in business.
The show was originally a short-length webseries for AOL Kids in 2010.[1]
The series follows the business adventures of racially-diverse kids: Radley, Elena, Jones, Lisa, along their robot Starty, and Warren Buffett as their mentor. Every episode focuses on a different business situation that kids might encounter in their day-to-day lives like having to raise money for something they want, or helping a local shop owner understand why their business isn't working. The kids are smart and enterprising, and come to realize that the best investment they can make is an investment in themselves.
