Better Call Saul finale gives nod to Warren Buffett

19.08.2022

After six seasons, Better Call Saul wrapped up its series Monday, giving a nod to billionaire businessman Warren Buffett.

In the beginning of the finale, a flashback of season five, episode eight s Bagman shows Jimmy McGill — also known as Saul Goodman and played by Bob Odenkirk — riding through the desert on a mission to transport $7 million with another character.

The couple contemplated whether they should take the money and run. Goodman was also mentioned in the scene, sharing how he would spend the cash if he had a time machine.

Goodman said it was easy to follow. That was the day Warren Buffett took over Berkshire Hathaway. I figure, I have $1 million left from building the time machine, so I'd take my half and just stick it into Berkshire and then I come back here, and I'm a billionaire. Buffett's net worth is more than $106 billion at the present-day. In the 1960s he regretted investing in Berkshire Hathaway, a failing textile company with cheap stock at the time.

He later discovered that it was the foundation of his career.

Buffett had about 7 percent of the company's shares in 1964 and by early May 1965 Buffett Partnership took over the company.

In 1965, Berkshire was worth about $19 a share, according to The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway by Adam Mead.

Buffett has also been candid about his admiration for the Breaking Bad series in the past, as Better Call Saul is a spinoff for the show.

In 2013 he was vocal about giving the hit show an A and even kicked off a Berkshire meeting with a Breaking Bad parody. In 2015, Buffett was invited as a VIP guest on the set of Better Call Saul Season 2.
