It's not the money. It's the appalling spectacle of a grandfather telling a granddaughter he never had any feelings for her.

I agree the money isn't the real issue, but the poster to whom I responded seemed to think it was significant.

But you'd have to understand how galling the idea of talking about the family money is to most people in Buffet's class to see what might have provoked his reaction. And talking about it to anyone is bad enough, but going on Oprah...

Not that it at all justifies such an extreme reaction, though.
