Other than that his charitable giving percentage wise is Zilch.

Sounds like some loopy conspiracy theory you heard on talk radio-----if they really needed more money, they wouldn't be giving it away.

Wow you sound extra ignorant today Happy. Buffett has made a lot of people in this city rich, and a lot of them own shares. I'm one of them. Go be a troll elsewhere.

I attended the meeting, and they had a lot of nice things to say about the city. It was often the topic of conversation on the shuttles.

I've had a number of wealthy clients over the years. Buffett has given away more money than anyone in the history of the world. Enough said.

There's a lot of misplaced outrage about Buffet in this thread, and I haven't the faintest idea where it's coming from. We just had 40,000+ people attend a convention in Omaha, several of them were very wealthy and pumped a lot of money into the local economy, including some pretty big purchases at NFM and Borsheims. In what universe is this a bad thing for Omaha? Who cares if the local news talks about it? If you don't like the coverage, then don't watch it. I'm always that anyone under 50 years old even watches local news any more any way.
