As "Better Call Saul" wrapped up its series after six seasons Monday, the hit crime drama gave a nod to billionaire businessman Warren Buffett.<\/p>\n

In the beginning of the finale, a flashback of season five, episode eight’s "Bagman" shows Jimmy McGill — also known as Saul Goodman and played by Bob Odenkirk — trekking through the desert on a mission to transport $7 million with another character.<\/p>\n

The pair contemplated whether they should take the money and run. Also featured in the scene, Goodman shared how he would spend the cash if he had a time machine. <\/p>\n

"Heh, it's easy," Goodman responded. "May 10, 1965. That's the day Warren Buffett took over at Berkshire Hathaway. I figure, got $1 million left from building the time machine, so I'd take my half and just stick it into Berkshire, and then I come back here, and I'm a billionaire."<\/p>\n

Buffett’s net worth is more than $106 billion present-day. However, back in the 1960s he regretted investing in Berkshire Hathaway, a failing textile company with cheap stock at the time.<\/p>\n

Later, he discovered it was the foundation of his career. <\/p>\n

In 1964, Buffett had about 7 percent of the company's shares and by early May 1965, Buffett Partnership took over the company. <\/p>\n

Berkshire was worth about $19 a share in 1965, according to "The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway" by Adam Mead.<\/p>\n

If McGill had invested his $500,000 at that price, he would have received around 26,300 of Berkshire's Class A shares, according to Business Insider. <\/p>\n

In 2013, he was vocal about giving the hit show an "A+," and even kicked off a Berkshire meeting with a "Breaking Bad" parody. In 2015, Buffett was also invited as a VIP guest on the set of "Better Call Saul" Season 2.<\/p>\n
