Guillaume Patry (44), a broadcaster and full-time investor who was formerly a Canadian professional gamer, taught his three-year-old daughter, Lea, about 'investing.'
On the episode of KBS2's variety show 'Super Dad is Back' aired on the 30th, Guillaume Patry was shown spending time with his daughter, Lea, who is 38 months old.
In that day's broadcast, Lea got up early in the morning, prepared her own snacks from the refrigerator, and headed to the computer room where her father, Guillaume, was.
Lea sat at the computer desk, snuggled into her father's arms, and opened a snack box containing carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
Guillaume said, "I don't worry about what Lea eats. She only eats whole foods (natural foods). We never give her processed foods like candy or snacks, so she finds food the most delicious."
Before eating her snacks, Lea asked her father, "Do you want to try this?" and fed him a piece of bell pepper. After sharing the snacks with her father, Lea, who was drinking barley tea, asked, "Should I buy some for Dad too?"
In response, Guillaume replied, "If you want to buy something for your dad, Lea needs to earn money," and added, "To earn money, you have to invest."
He then showed her a stock chart on the monitor and said, "Do you see how it keeps going up here? You can earn more money if you invest well."
Seeing that Lea, who is very young, did not seem to fully understand, Guillaume said, "If you have a lot of money, you can buy ice cream and meat." Lea smiled broadly and listed the things she wanted to buy, saying, "Frozen strawberries, blueberries, yogurt," before shouting, "I can do it!"
In an interview with the production team, Guillaume explained the reason for emphasizing early investment education, stating, "There is a saying that it is good to start investing as early as possible. It is because you need to be in the market for a long time."
He further revealed, "When Lea's appearance fee from 'Super Dad is Back' comes in, I plan to use that money to buy her first stock, Bitcoin, or gold."
Guillaume became known through JTBC's variety show 'Unordinary Assembly.' Guillaume, who also worked as a professional gamer from 1998 to 2004, has earned significant profits from stocks. It is reported that he started investing when Bitcoin was worth 1 million won and achieved a return rate of up to 5,400%.
In that day's broadcast, Guillaume stated, "I think Bitcoin is overwhelmingly better than anything else. I don't invest anywhere else; I study about Bitcoin." He added, "If you just invest well, you can get a villa or something like that. Even if I retire now, I can live comfortably."
Guillaume married a Korean woman in 2022 and welcomed his daughter, Lea, in 2023.
