I didn't have any trouble getting my link up just now.
I hope you're not serious with that question, but the answer is no.
At least I don't think they're related.

Actually, Martha, Warren and Jimmy are related. They are cousins.

Who is Warren Buffet
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.

They are distant cousins, not closely related. But they are friends.

Well, I "gotcha" back, Maral. I googled and got genealogyblog.com/celebrity-genealogy/
and it said that they met each other, and suspected that they might be distantly related, but a genealogy worker is working on it but it hasn't been proven.
It's kind of a "joke" that Jimmy might succeed Warren at Berkshire Hathaway, (but don't count on it), they say.

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 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:
