4. His Best Friend is Warren Buffett
Bill has written about his very close friendship that has lasted many years with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. The two spend time together as often as possible and have even created The Giving Pledge Foundation together. Gates will often travel to Omaha, Nebraska to see Buffett (who picks him up personally at the airport… no limo).
Bill Gates also considers Buffett to be a mentor. He keeps only two numbers on speed dial at his office and one of those is Warren Buffett. He’ll consider what his friend would do in a variety of situations. They enjoy spending time together and visiting. Warren even bought Bill’s meal at McDonald’s with coupons once. Pretty cool billionaire friendship if ever there was one.
