582. The Dynasty Return That Couldn’t Beat an Index Fund

Brian Gubernick shares the incredible story of Dr. Jerry Buss — the visionary real estate investor who bought the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979 for just $67.5 million. That investment turned into a $10 billion empire, revolutionized professional basketball, and cemented his family's legacy in the sports world.

But here’s the twist: what if that same $67.5 million had simply been invested in the S&P 500?

Brian breaks down the numbers and dives into a bigger conversation — the difference between wealth and impact, compounding with calm versus leveraging for lifestyle, and how to evaluate your own investments through both return on capital and return on life.

This episode will make you rethink what it really means to “win” as an investor.
