Shark Tank judge Kevin O'Leary often appears on podcasts, news channels, and interviews to talk about topics of his expertise, such as business, finances, and politics. In one such video that Kevin posted on his official Instagram account on June 7, 2025, he stressed the importance of investments at an early age.
In the post caption, Kevin explained in short what the video was all about.
"Don’t spend it. Save it. Invest it. Let it compound. That’s the game," he wrote.
He added that if kids put 15% of all the money they have, including cash or gifts, or pocket money from grandma, into investments, they can become a millionaire.
What is Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary's advice to the kids?
Trending
In the video, Kevin was seen outdoors, with greenery in the background, holding a glass of champagne. He said that a piece of advice he can give children about money is to ask them not to spend it. He told them to save and invest it instead. He added that it's a recipe for compound interest.
He further stated it's a gift that the market gives them. He advised them to take 15% of all their income, including their side hustle, cash, or money that grandma gave them, and put it into the market. Kevin O'Leary asked them to do it at an early age so that the money would have time to incur compound interest.
As an example, the Shark Tank judge said that if one makes $68,000 a year, which is the average American salary, and save 15% of their paycheck, they would end up becoming a millionaire at 65, at the time of their retirement.
"Best piece of advice I can give anybody. Don't buy stuff you don't need. Invest it instead. Cheers," Kevin concluded.
Kevin reiterated the same things in the caption of his post as well. He wrote that he "drilled" that piece of advice into the heads of his own children. He asked them to invest and incur compound interest from a very early age.
Stating that one needs to let the market do its thing, Kevin mentioned that kids need to put 15% of birthday money, or whatever they have made, into investments. That, according to him, is how someone can be a millionaire.
Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank shares how entrepreneurship leads to true freedom
In another video that Kevin posted on his Instagram handle on June 7, he shed light on how one can pursue their passion at a later point in life. He stated that a founder's mindset is driven to find freedom, adding that true freedom is to be able to do whatever one wants to do with their time.
"It doesn't matter how wealthy you become, time is a constraint," he said.
The Shark Tank investor noted that to chase dreams in the later part of life, people need this freedom. Kevin O'Leary stated that he, himself, wanted to be a photographer and a filmmaker when he was younger, but couldn't pursue it. This was because his father advised him against it, saying that he might not be good enough at those things, and there was a lot of competition. So, he opted for business field.
Now that he has earned immense success as an entrepreneur, O'Leary shared that he has the time to take pictures and even edit his own social media posts. He asked the viewers to become entrepreneurs to attain true freedom and not to be afraid of failure.
