Her estate tax woes?
Gone!
He thinks people buy his phony image of just plain Warren who lives in the little house in Omaha.
What did his granddaughter say?
This was actually one of those rare Oprah shows I watched. I was rather impressed that Buffet expected his grandkids to earn their own way. I didn't think she said anything bad about him at all. Maybe the movie is different. Guess it was shame on me for thinking a good thought about him based on that show.
>>>Buffett wrote, "I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin."
"He was angry Nicole was using the Buffett name to promote herself and said he no longer considered her his granddaughter," our source added. >>>
According to the above paragraph, it sounds like he never did consider her his granddaughter.
Mr. Philanthropist is a real jerk.
Ahh good old Democrat.. high on ideals.. low on morality.
Bitter old man ...
I'm not against being filthy rich. I'm against people that wish to exclude any others from the club.
Actually he has made a big deal out of how they aren't going to inherit anything anyway, so what is she losing? A guy worth billions can't help his own kin, what kind of guy is he one wonders. From my perspective, the reason we exist is to see to it our offspring have it better than we did, I guess he wants to make it easier for his kids to do that. Whatever...
I watched the "Born Rich". It was insightful, can't wait to see the follow-up.
I wonder if we'll Stalinize her out of family photos?
Wow, can Jimmie Buffet be far behind?
I smell lawyers behind this. When Buffet dies, expect Nicole and others to contest distribution of his estate. She's positioning herself for this battle now.
I didn't realize he was such a mean man.
I guess you could call this a "late life abortion", since WB funds them with foundations. May it turn out to be a great advantage to this brave ex-grandaughter.
Maybe she said she voted for Bush.
A little study of the history of filthy rich familys shows that inherited great wealth is not the boon that most working people would assume it is.
Very wealthy familys are always disfunctional as are their members.
Does anybody envy Paris Hilton's life? Why can't she see that? Do you think the life of the Gettys (for example) was/is a bed of roses?
Man, what a typical limousine liberal asshole. He can dish it out until he's blue in the face, but as soon as he gets some back in his direction he goes bananas.
