Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful, is building one of the largest data center projects in the U.S., and he joins MarketBeat’s Bridget Bennett to explain what’s really happening behind the AI infrastructure story. Kevin breaks down the two AI investment areas he’s most bullish on for the next five years: power and compute. He also shares what it actually costs to build a data center today, roughly $16 billion for a single large project, and why demand for compute is still about three times what’s available. And he explains why he believes 60 to 65% of announced data center projects will never get built, and what that means for investors trying to pick the winners. He also covers the political fight over data centers ahead of the midterms, why he treats data centers like real estate, and how he’s spreading his own bets across four countries. Plus, his advice for retail investors who are nervous about AI right now.
