$2.3 million, and you still get to dab away the chicken a la king off of his chin. Pass.

I don't see the fascination with WB, he produces nothing is proportion to his wealth, most of the taxable money he does generate goes into non taxable charities, he offers no dividends, he forces the never sell Kool Aid down shareholders throats.

And he did not save me 10% on my car insurance. Obviously a Volvo hater.

^^^I can't agree or disagree with any of your assertions, as I don't own BH stock and don't have access to anyone who does.

I'd love to have lunch or dinner with him, its worth a $10k ticket which is typical for such events, more ehh not so.

For that kind of money I'd want unlimited access for a year.

And then when he does decide to devote a large chunk of his money to charitable purposes, he has no idea on what might work, just gives it to Gates instead? The Gates foundation was about to shrivel on the vine, of course.
