Warren Buffett has done well by his shareholders and is giving 99 percent of his money to charity! Props ❤️

Warren Buffett has made over $500 Billion for shareholders, hes one of the greatest wealth creators of all time, he has more than a 100 companies under Berkshire, he has a different style of management and doesnt get involved in operations, what the hell are these guys talking about lol

You got Icahn there, and she's trying to turn it into a spat with Buffet. Dumb, ask the man about what he knows, which is sizeable.

[anon....]

This is the dude that saved herbalife... just let that sink in

[LOUI-eh]

I'm a huge buffett fan but I do agree with Icahn on this, he is too easy on certain people who don't deserve it.  I also do see why buffett doesn't like getting into those things though  cause its just not worth the trouble when you are already doing that great.

I like how so many people are still treating Buffett like an infallible saint.

She is an awful person Bloomberg is awful for allowing her to behave like that, she constantly tries to get a reaction out of people she interview with, likes to paint a story that's negative towards the person or the purpose of the interview. Well there is always CNBC huh

Too easy on companies? Of course Icahn, the man who ruined TWA, would say that.

Man worth 15 billion is giving advice to one worth 90

Her sense of interview is to over simplify and then draw from her oversimplified understanding of what he is saying a sensational moment of conflict. “He said x and you said y so does that mean you think he is this or that?” I’d fire her so quickly.

Ichan is right! Personal ethics are a big problem in America. Buy a company, sell the assets, screw the retirees. that's the way! He's a soulless, ethically challenged raider.

Dear Stephanie Ruhle, I came to listen to Carl Icahn. I didn't come because I wanted to hear what you think. Please, just ask your questions and then let the guest answer without interrupting them. If you have a follow up question wait until your guest is finished answering the previous question.
P.S., Mr Ican, you don't have to put up with unprofessional, hack reporters that are more interested in instigating some fatuous drama than conducting a meaningful interview.

[wul]

I can't tell who's interviewing who

[Quivver]

This is the type of dude who will lift a manhole cover just to get at the penny stuck underneath.

[bankcounsel]

Comparing Warren Buffett to Carl Icahn would be like comparing Cicero to Carlos the Jackal. Next!

Icahn was pretty tame considering his past
