Sorry, but the first thing that came to my mind was "Jimmy Buffet is going to be Secretary of Defense?"
So, send all the troops to Margaritaville!

Hasn't Gates been giving away his money?

As has Buffett (you may recall the huge announcement last year that Buffett is giving a large chunk of stock to Gate's foundation.)

Have you ever wondered about the house where the world's richest person lives?
It is an 87 year-old, 2.5 stories, 5830 square feet, that was remodeled in 1989 to include a racquetball court and guard shack. It is located in a fairly-regular neighborhood.
Assessed value is $710,000. It likely is not anywhere near the top 100 of Omaha's most expensive houses.

I am also a bit impressed that Buffett hasn't made his family's life easy. They get their education paid for and that's about it. I admire that in him.

Darn, I thought maybe they found someone to fix Vista
either that or Warren Buffet was doing his own home repair.
