Just what every new dad wants: his own animated Sunday morning cartoon! Jay-Z will guest star on Warren Buffet’s new animated series Secret Millionaires Club (is this thing real?) playing the industry titan side of himself. Reportedly he'll be "speaking about his success as a businessman and philanthropist," and a press release announced:
Secret Millionaires Club
was created in partnership with and voiced by [Warren] Buffett, one of the most successful investors in the world. The specials feature Buffett as an advisor to a group of entrepreneurial kids who learn through a series of adventures the basic principles about business, and discover that the most valuable investment they can make is an investment in themselves.
In the premiere special, “Be Cool to Your School,” Buffett gives financial advice to a group of teens attempting to raise money for their school and a trip to New York City. Buffett’s practical financial advice guides the teens as they form a Secret Millionaires Club to help others. Guest-starring in the episode is entertainment mogul and business entrepreneur, JAY-Z.
MTV reports that "Jay’s involvement in the cartoon series will be spread out over four special episodes," which you can start checking out this Sunday at 1 p.m. on Hub TV. Here's a sneak peek:
