Buffett still has one of the best stories ever…he liked Dairy Queen so much he bought it 😂

LilofanJan 19, 2024

That kind of diet is right up 93 years young Warren Buffett lifestyle alley of eating fast food and dairy queen on a regular basis. His take on that is he eats like a 6 year old kid which he says has the lowest death rates.

Come on Bob 595---- let's hope you can hit 600 in 2024 and I'm not talking baseball.

Execs are very good at reinventing themselves and many critics have the attention span of less than a goldfish - 8 seconds.

I was not talking about personal wealth, but that her status as an executive has been tarnished. Not going into rumors and innuendo.

LilofanJan 18, 2024

She sold off her Meta stock in 2022 - $1.8 billion. She's resilient especially after her first husband an accomplished exec of Survey Monkey died while falling off a treadmill in a hotel resort gym during a family vacation.

AylaJan 18, 2024

😂 She's worth 2+ billion dollars. She's fine.

MR.DisJan 18, 2024

Just saw where Sheryl Sandberg is leaving META. At one point she was highly thought to be in the running to take over Disney, but her fortunes have changed drastically.

MR.DisJan 18, 2024

One thing that should be demanded by who ever is picked to take over--Bob Iger needs to completely leave the premises. No honorary office, not even a small cubicle. All privileges gone. If it satisfies his ego, make a statute in his honor--say just outside one of the restrooms in one of the parks.

SirwalterraleighJan 18, 2024

Notice how that corresponds with his ego never wanting to leave either The guy “retired” and never even moved out of his office. A comp: Eisner turned in his keys, his office and his main gate a year early
