Warren Buffett’s wife complained about a $4 coffee

[Anonymous]

I absolutely adore her now. This is exactly why many wealthy people retain their wealth.

She was at a billionnaire's camp, you say? Yeah, I really don't give AF. She could have stayed home, had coffee at home, and saved the planet from the plane emissions. She could ... stop being a coffee drinker. She had options.

Pretty sure she brought her own avocado toast sandwich from home, wrapped in wax paper

Just because you have money to spend doesn't mean you lose your sensitivity to it being wasted. I don't know why this fact surprises people.

Isn’t part of the problem that billionaires like her don’t think the billions their families have raked in have increased prices and inflation for everyone?

Larry Libowotz used to walk four blocks out of way for 50 cent coffee off the cart. He made 40 million a year when I worked with him

Billionaires who hoard their money and are not willing to pay fair wages… that’s adorable to you?

Don’t be a jerk. They pledged to give almost all of their money away. Billions and billions. How much have you given? What? Can’t hear you. WHAT???

Have they given it away already? Or does that only come when they're dead?

NP, but I don't HAVE billions. I don't even have $200,000. I will probably never be able to buy a home, and probably work until the day I drop dead.

Buffetts have given more than $50 billion already. Gotta love them.

I generally like Warren Buffett, as far as billionaires go, but I think the wife lacks perspective. She's probably hobnobbing with CEOs who rakes in $50 million when their company's stock prices slump and they lay off people. But a vendor charging $4 for coffee to some of the wealthiest people on the planet is a cause for scorn? I hope they still tip.

Like Warren Buffett, I pledge to donate every penny after my first billion dollars. And better than Warren Buffet, I've already done it every penny after my first 50 million dollars.

You're welcome!

She retained Warren Buffett's wealth, not her wealth.

And she retained Warren Buffett's first wife's husband (while they were still married).
