Warren Buffett is known primarily for successful investments and a fortune estimated at over $ 108 billion, but he is also a declared Apple lover. Anyway, his company Berkshire-Hathaway owns quite a lot of shares in the Cupertino company, which somewhat speaks for itself.
But most importantly, Buffet is often able to throw a golden thought. And here, somewhat by chance, promised to pay 10,000 hole. (approx. PLN 42,000) to a really large group of people. On one condition.
If you’re an Apple user and someone offers you $10,000 dol, but with the proviso that they take your iPhone and you can never buy another one, you refuse. They’ll tell you that if you buy a non-Ford car, they’ll give you $10,000. dol. so that you don’t; you take the money and buy a Chevrolet instead
Warren Buffett said in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday.
The billionaire, referring to the question of his next moves on the subject of Apple, firmly stated that does not intend to sell any assets. What’s more, he assured, today he regrets getting rid of part of Apple shares in 2021 and openly calls this decision a mistake.
We also learn that Buffett is pleased with the direction the company is heading under Tim Cookwho in his opinion is “one of the most elegant CEOs.”
Buffett also praised Gates. In a special way
An interesting fact is that Bill Gates also received a handful of warm words, although not as a leader, but the hero of a certain anecdote. The founder of Microsoft was supposed to visit Buffett a few months ago to convince him about language models and ChatGPT. Buffett, who speaks bluntly about his technical shortcomings, needed a special narrative, and Gates provided it.
I think it’s something I don’t understand at all, but Bill came in at least four or five months ago and said, “I’ll show you the latest thing and what can be done about it.” I actually said take the song “My Way” and write it in Spanish. Two seconds later, you know, it goes out and out, it rhymes and it does all these wonderful things.
– Buffett described his unusual lesson with Gates.
