The Shark Tank star recently disclosed which historical figure he would pick as a vacation companion, and it's not who you may assume. This revelation was unexpected but classic Kevin O'Leary.
When asked about his ideal historical vacation companion in an Instagram clip that the program posted, O'Leary immediately mentioned Attila the Hun, one of the most dreaded conquerors in history.
"If I could go on a vacation with any historical figure, I thought a lot about this. It's Attila the Hun. That guy went to a lot of places and he wasn't that popular, but boy, you've got to admit he was successful. I'm just saying when it comes to delivering on executional skills, Attila, quite a guy," O'Leary said in the reel.
O'Leary is well-known for his keen business sense and passion for results, so his unusual response may be more a reflection of his respect for capable leadership and strategic thought than a genuine wish to escape with a merciless warrior.
His choice sparked curiosity and laughter among fans in the comments, proving that Mr. Wonderful never lets them down when it comes to interesting responses.
