I wonder if Buffett has any regrets on doing the KHC deal with 3G? 3G's reputation as ruthless cost cutters with no conscience could not have helped Berkshire in any way. Just a thought...
Buffett has had mostly good things to say about 3G's Jorge Paulo Lemann, but I agree that it always seemed like an odd partnership and I'm not too surprised that they've gone their separate ways now. I wonder if Buffett will get asked about this at the annual meeting...
Business ís not a game in between to show who ís better in investment... But it is a ""High Level of the Intellectual Works for Money-piling" in between... to show "respect", "care" and "crucial" Diplomatics in both sides of "Great-Business-Works" to bring the happiness results for both sides, "the Provider and the Consumers."
The "Intellective Heart and Mind" in Business mushow honest and respected "each and other "to absorb attractively to giving happiness in between "This" and "That" businessman... It's the KEY TO be great successful to leverage the "business larger to worldwide productions" that you "CARE" about....
Thank you very much for your "Great Title sending to me weekly. It's so happy to me to read and learn more about,,,the area of Business...This ís also make me miss my "Grandmother"...A Princess but doing business very very successfully.
Thank you again for another interesting update! Your little episodes of Poor Charlie’s Almanack really make me eager to ultimately read it myself. Also thank you for citing my little note, means a lot to me :)
It is remarkable how Buffett’s wealth has continued to grow despite his philanthropic endeavors. Kevin, do you know how much he would have been worth if he hadn’t donated any of his shares?
In the early 1990s, I think Buffett owned about 41% of Berkshire stock and his wife another 2-3%. (Those numbers are off the top of my head, but they should be pretty close.) Then there were several dilutive acquisitions which lessened his ownership percentage before he started giving shares to charitable foundations.
But I'm not sure what percentage of Berkshire he would own today if he hadn't done any donations. I'd love to find that out, though.
