I just finished reading "Where are the Customers Yachts" and my favourite sentence is the last sentence of the introduction: "Then a long time later it turns out that I should have just bought them, and thereafter I should have just sat on them like a fat, stupid peasant. A peasant however, who is rich beyond his limited dreams of avarice." :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTermView Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 A recent discussion with Mr. Munger Thanks for sharing! A little after 38 minutes: There's at least $60 billion dollars in Berkshire of net worth that Ajit has created that we would not have created without him. And the value is way more than $60 billion. I mean there's that much in extra liquid net worth but the value of the business is way more than $60 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Abel and Jain's ownership it is approaching 1B. How much do the heads of the subs own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
