No, the house is the one Warren bought with his first wife.

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???

I pay my staff fair wages and I don’t go to conferences explaining how to hoard my money.

No they don’t give “almost all their money away”.

You’re a rube. Can you hear that? What? Can’t hear you. WHAT???

You say or your employees say? I’d like to hear from them.

My employees actually. I pay 50% higher per hour the going rate. Plus they get free lunch while working.

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!

I seriously doubt you have donated anything in your short miserable life.

I'm donating my time to be your imaginary frenemy.

It is hardly a starter home and isn’t all that small.

She’d be horrified at a $6 bottle of water at Universal Studios then.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Ramit Sethi and I don’t find a billionaire complaining about a $4 coffee to be admirable or funny. I think that signals a dysfunctional relationship with money.

Because she went on a TV show against his wishes.

Warren Buffet is also a major owner of the railroad companies that fought tooth and nail not to give their employees sick leave and whose labor practices were part of the reason we had all those toxic derailments earlier in the year.

Don’t fool yourselves; billionaires are little more than a plague on society.

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

He's given $48 billion to charity.

Yeah, does that seem like a good reason to you?

She probably hasn't paid for coffee recently. I'm glad that she notices prices and isn't a completely oblivious rich woman. She didn't come from money (she was a waitress), so she's in touch with the world the rest of us inhabit, which I think is a good quality. Warren is supposed to be thrifty, which is a good quality I admire.

We don’t know the reason. We know her interpretation of the reason. Even reading cherry picked excerpts of what she wants to share isn’t proof.

I don't get these complaints. The people who make coffee need a living wage. Don't like it? Don't buy it. But don't whine about how you wish it was cheaper when you are a billionaire.

Drip coffee is not a high-labor good. I get $1/cup coffee regularly. And €1/cup coffee in Paris.

She’s right that they’re price gouging her on-site.
