The surprising product that built Italy's richest family

Well, I gotta bleep this out, but [beep] and he's extremely multi-billionaire.

[laughs] Extremely multi-billionaire.

E- extremely.

I feel like I could rule the world. I know I could be what I want to. Uh. I put my all in it like no days off. On the road less traveled never looking back.

Sam, I have here in front of me a letter that I need to read for you. So I, uh, I open the mail, and I see a invitation like this to a graduation. And I think, "That's not my cousin. That's not my nephew. Who is this?" "Dear Sean, my name is Quentin Wood. I've been listening to MFM for, uh, since 2021. Over the last five years, you and Sam's podcast has made a huge impact on my life, shaping how I see the world, investing in stocks, my goals, my life. Your podcast brought me a lot of joy and helped me through long runs and study sessions. Uh, you and Sam have directed my life for the better, so thank you. I'm a high school senior this year, and because of the profound impact you've made in my life, I want to invite you to my graduation and graduation party."

[laughs]

He lives in, he lives in Colorado. "Thank you for, thank you for taking the time to read this and everything you do. Keep making more episodes. Sincerely, Quentin Wood, high school senior."

Baller.

Isn't this amazing?

Baller. [laughs] Congrats, Quentin.

Take a bow, Quentin. [clapping]

[laughs]

How good is that, man? L- I love this kid.

If you're under the age of 24, you should do some of these things that might sound insulting, like if we said, "That's endearing," or I would never say, "That's cute," but, like, you feel, like, that emotion. You should 100% embrace doing those things-

Right

... because you can only get away with this at a very s- for the very small time, and it's totally appropriate and totally awesome.

It's like pooping your pants.

[laughs]

You can only do it for so long. [laughs]

Well, and then when you can do it, like, later in life. But, like-

[laughs]

... you, like, this type of stuff, uh, 100% is awesome.

And by the way, it, it, a lot, okay, a bunch of people have written letters, but just inviting to the high school graduation was so endearing, I just thought [laughs] I was like, "Oh, that's so, like, so wonderful." And Diego was like, "So we're gonna go?" I was like-

[laughs]

... "Well, n- no. Hell no. We're definitely not going," but I, but I, m- I will play him the song and, and give him the clap. This is great. Okay, I wanna tell you about this, this business story that, that, uh, this, to me, this is, this is a Billy of the week. So this is a, a, a billionaire family that I, I found really fascinating, and I've been into these, like, family dynasties. Last, last week, I think we were talking about Cargill, and this one is-

Wait, can I... I wanna try and guess these.

Yeah.

I like trying to guess.

Let me give you a couple of clues so you know which direction you're going. The richest man in Italy.

Sunglasses or chocolate?

[laughs] Chocolate.

Okay. [laughs]

Do you know who it is?

Yeah. Uh, I, d- Ro- Ro- Roche, Roche. Is it called Roche something? Uh, Ferr- Ferrero Rocher.

Ferrara.

Yeah. [laughs]

So, uh, okay. Well, you got that pretty quick. [laughs]

[laughs]

It's a lot less fun when you just know the answer,
