But then, there is no denying that Warren Buffett is an investment expert.

But then, there is no denying that Warren Buffett is an investment expert.

I think the term "expert" is over rated and used by people to describe themselves more than other people, nonetheless, Warren is perfect at one thing and that is not losing money. There are deals that have cost him and his shareholders money and he has made investing mistakes by his own admission but overall ROI is a world record that has not been bettered yet.

That price was reached in a charity auction where there were 10 active bidders and the $$$ go to a homeless persons charity in San Francisco. This is worth mentioning as WB is not pocketing the $$.

Buffett has slowly given away his fortune since 2006, and he plans to eventually divide most of his shares of Berkshire stock between five charitable foundations. The largest chunk will go to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

For sure and he specifically states that "No investment advice or specific business is discussed", so you get to have a Coke and Burger with the guy.

What a feeling it must be to be able to give that sort of money away to charity............... :-)

For rich people, $4.5mil is a drop in the ocean for them.

It's worth it because:
1) the privilege of 1 on 1 with one of the richest and wise man on earth - im sure the stories that WB can tell are worth every penny2) charity

If I'm a multi millionaire, I will pay.

Let's say you get 90 minutes with WB @ $4.5m - that's $50,000 a minute - umm still more than the average annual wage in NZ. How long would you get with WB for your annual wage? 1 minute, 2 minutes - maybe 3 minutes?
