The Spirit of Warren Buffett : You do things when the opertunities come along. I ve had periods in my Life when i ve had bundle of ideas come along, and i ve had long dry spells. If i get an idea next week, i 'll do something. If not i wont do a damn thing."



Quotes :
  "You do things when the opertunities come along.
 I ve had periods in my Life
 when i ve had bundle of ideas come along, 
and i ve had long dry spells.
If i get an idea next week, i 'll do something.
If not i wont do a damn thing."

The Times of Warren Buffett :
Personal Life 


His 2006 annual salary was about $100,000, which is small compared to senior executive remuneration in comparable companies. In 2007 and 2008, he earned a total compensation of $175,000, which included a base salary of just $100,000.

 He lives in the same house in the central Dundee neighborhood of Omaha that he bought in 1958 for $31,500, today valued at around $700,000 (although he also owns a $4 million house in Laguna Beach, California). In 1989, after having spent nearly $6.7 million of Berkshire's funds on aprivate jet, Buffett named it "The Indefensible". This act was a break from his past condemnation of extravagant purchases by other CEOs and his history of using more public transportation.

Buffett is an avid player of bridge, which he plays with fellow fan Gates. He spends 12 hours a week playing the game. In 2006, he sponsored a bridge match for the Buffett Cup. Modeled on the Ryder Cup in golf, held immediately before it, and in the same city, a team of twelve bridge players from the United States took on twelve Europeans in the event.

 He is a dedicated, lifelong follower of Nebraska football, and attends as many games as his schedule permits. He supported the hire of Bo Pelini following the 2007 season stating, "It was getting kind of desperate around here". He watched the 2009 game against Oklahoma from the Nebraska sideline after being named an honorary assistant coach.

Warren Buffett worked with Christopher Webber on an animated series with chief Andy Heyward, of DiC Entertainment, and then A Squared Entertainment.

 The series features Buffett and Munger, and teaches children healthy financial habits for life.Buffett was raised Presbyterian but has since described himself as agnostic.

 In December 2006 it was reported that Buffett does not carry a cell phone, does not have a computer at his desk, and drives his own automobile,Cadillac DTS.Buffett reads five newspapers every day, beginning with the Omaha World Herald, which his company bought in 2011. He wears tailor-made suits from the Chinese labelTrands; earlier he wore Ermenegildo Zegna.
