Who is Warren Buffet
Thanks Tex!!Marthatex said:Well, I think he's just this really smart financial guru. Didn't he start Berkshire Hathaway, the most expensive stock on the stock market?
I guess he was just a smart financial investor and advisor. Then he became good friends with Katherine Graham, who took over the Washington Post when her husband committed suicide. She had to become a "CEO" overnight, had no idea how to do it, and he gave her alot of advice.
She slipped on ice and died a few years ago.
That's all I really know about him, except he seems very wise and kind, and he doesn't really believe in giving a lot of money to his children so he's giving it away to the world, kind of like Bill Gates.
Cool American, huh? I forgot you're from Australia and might not know who WB is.
narlacat said:Ok, so we're not sure if they're related....
I used to love that Jimmy Buffet song....something about 'Margaritaville' (sp)
Humming it now..........:crazy:
Maral said:Lol, Martha, I saw that, too. I was just going by what my brother told me. He knows Warren's son and told me that he asked and the son said they were distant cousins.
Yeah he was pretty hip and happening at one stage...Marthatex said:yeah, he has a nice, smooth voice doesn't He? I never really got into him, but it's nice party music isn't it?
To tell you the truth, I imagined him so different from Warren Buffett that my knee jerk reaction was no, they could never be related.
Not necessarily, Martha, lol. I know my brother knows the son, but I also know my brother. He could have just been telling me that, especially since he knows I can be gullible sometimes.Marthatex said:Ok, well I would say that "trumps" google. Whatever... :truce:
