Posted on November 28, 2010 by | 7 Comments

Warren Buffett, Ted Turner, Bill Gates

watching them now from this morning’s This Week show.

      And no government mandate that they do so.

      How refreshing.

    Yep – good stuff.
    And interesting reasoning for not giving their kids everything. Let them build their own lives – for their own good.

    Ted on his loss of fortune.. from 10 to 2.. and losing his job, wife and a grandchild – all in one year. Life sure comes in bulks sometimes..
