WARREN SAYS – “FRIENDSHIPS MATTER”
Warren Buffett, the “Oracle of Omaha,” is known for giving great advice. He is one of the world’s wealthiest and had a net worth of about $117 billion last year, ranking him among the “top 5 wealthiest people in the world.
“Bill Gates and Warren Buffett not only share a seat at the table for the world’s richest people, but they are also friends. Earlier this year, CNBC’s Make It reported on the “most important thing” Bill Gates learned from the financial guru, who also happens to be his golf buddy. He explained in an interview with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that, “Warren Buffett talked about [how], in the end, it’s how friends really think of you and how strong those friendships are [that matters].” This isn’t the first time that the co-founder of Microsoft spoke fondly of Buffett’s friendly advice. As reported by CNBC, in a 2016 blog he again spoke about their friendship that began in 1991. “I’ve learned many things from Warren over the last 25 years, but maybe the most important thing is what friendship is all about,” Gates says.”
OF COURSE, I AGREE WITH WARREN BUFFETT – FRIENDS ROCK!
I value my family and friends above all else. They make me laugh and loudly from what Jacqui tells me. She often told me who I was talking to on the phone based on the laughter. And she is pretty accurate!
