Parsad Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'm sure Buffett enjoys his life immensely, but the amount of security that the poor guy requires these days is crazy. It must be tough living like that...I'm sure other celebrities have the same problem.

Guest ValueCarl Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 There's a great deal of integrity contained in this sentence. Quite amazing, actually. <In 2009, both Buffett and Munger reimbursed Berkshire again to cover any personal costs, such as postage or calls the company may have paid for. Buffett paid the company $50,000, and Munger reimbursed Berkshire $5,500.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinAlberta Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 A very odd sounding quote... Buffett Follows ‘Avarice’ Warning by Keeping $100,000 Salary “He can’t help but earn money far in excess of any possible need for it,” wrote Buffett, who is also chairman. “But it’s important that neither ego nor avarice motivate him to reach for pay matching his most lavishly compensated peers, even if his achievements far exceed theirs.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-13/buffett-follows-avarice-warning-by-sticking-to-100-000-salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshire101 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 $300,000 sounds pretty cheap compared to Michael Dell who pays $2.7 million for his security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilermaker75 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 $300,000 sounds pretty cheap compared to Michael Dell who pays $2.7 million for his security. Maybe because BRK shareholders are happy while there are plenty of ex-DELL shareholders who got screwed when Dell took DELL private! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
