Since that buy in 2012, the company has formed BH Media Company, which bought the daily newspapers in Richmond, Virginia; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and in other cities.he financial considerations are not of much consequence to Berkshire shareholders, Buffett said, calling them "almost negligible" in the company that had $250 billion in annual revenue in a recent count.“But the significance to society is enormous,” Buffett said.
Growing up in Omaha, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger benefited from gender discrimination that limited women’s career choices, they said, considering a shareholder’s question about a lack of women in top positions in business.
Life advice from Charlie Munger, 94: “If you’re going to live a long time, you have to keep learning.What you formerly knew, is never enough.”
