Warren Buffett and Bill Gates Meet Their Match in Jamie Lee Curtis

Omaha, NE (PRWEB) May 6, 2006

When more than 20,000 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders gather here today for the company’s annual meeting, they will be entertained with a short film featuring Jamie Lee Curtis. What they may not realize is that the actress proved a proved a worthy negotiator with Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett, the legendary corporate acquirer, in striking a deal for her performance.

For compensation, Curtis demanded and received a Monopoly™ board autographed by Buffett and Bill Gates, a Berkshire Hathaway director, which she has donated to a Los Angeles school for learning disabilities attended by her son. The school, Park Century, is auctioning the board over eBay to raise funds for a new building that will double its student capacity.

The actress is rightfully proud of her deal-making, having persuaded America’s two richest individuals to comply with her request. She readily admits though that Buffett and Microsoft Chairman Gates, major financial contributors to education, caved in rather easily.

Gates perd el tron


Avui s’ha fet pública la llista Forbes i crida l’atenció que després de més de deu anys a dalt de tot, Bill Gates ja no és l’home més ric del món. En la primera posició apareix el financer nord-americà Warren Buffet. Per trobar el primer català cal anar al lloc 368. ____ Bill Gates ha deixat de ser l’home més ric del món, “càrrec” que tenia des de feia 13 anys. L’oferta de compra que Microsoft va fer per Yahoo, i que va devaluar un 15% les accions del gegant informàtic, ha desplaçat Gates al tercer lloc de la llista de la revista “Forbes”. La fortuna del president i cofundador de Microsoft s’eleva a 58.000 milions de dòlars, per sota dels 62.000 milions de l’inversor nord-americà Warren Buffett, que ha agafat el lloc de Gates, i els 60.000 milions del magnat mexicà de les telecomunicacions Carlos Slim. Es dóna el cas que Buffett i Gates són amics i apareixen junts a la portada ia l’interior de l’últim número de “Forbes”. La cessió del “tron” del rànquing de “Forbes” és, per alguns, un reflex de la nova etapa vital de Bill Gates, que es va acomiadar de la indústria que ha liderat durant anys a l’última Fira de l’Electrònica de Consum de Las Vegas. Gates es va acomiadar amb amics com Bono, Spielberg i Clooney, i va donar per oberta la “segona era digital”, en què les aplicacions informàtiques queden en un segon pla i tot el protagonisme és per als sistemes que volen “connectar persones”. De fet, Gates no és el principal artífex de l’opa de Microsoft sobre Yahoo. Als 53 anys
