"...always Diet Coke." *cuts to a picture of Buffett drinking a Coca-Cola Cherry*

Cool to see a rich powerful guy eating like a lot of people would, instead of acting like a pretentious fucker trying to impress everyone with caviar and $5, 000 bottles of wine. Cool cat. 😊

Please share experiences at lunch with Warren Buffet or any other CEO. I won a charity lunch with CEO at company I am employed at and was thinking not to ask too many questions but also do not want to insult the CEO and not ask anything. Any advice

He always holds cherry coke, where is diet coke from?

[alecbaker]

$2 million to have lunch with a human man? No thanks

[davidfreeman]

Should be easy: give him a call, a text, or an email. 'Hello Mr. Buffett. What are you up for lunch today?' Problem solved.

Warren Buffett once bought me a steak lunch at Gorat's in Omaha.

So, here's capitalism. Dear Owner of S&W, create a secondary charitable arm. On the same day Mr.B comes to have his lunch, you auction the surrounding tables to buyers so they can sit quietly eating big steaks and listening slyly. Fill the place with people paying big money to eat the same prime rib and drink the same diet cherry Coke as the Oracle for a day. You could triple your goodwill.
