Buffett Personal Wealth and Wells Fargo

Too Big To Fail is surely the best investigative business book since Barbarian at the Gates or The Smartest Guy in the Room. Andrew Sorkin gave many new details and juicy insights into the events leading up to and during the crisis last Fall. One of which was the implied personal fortune of Warren Buffett.

On page 508, Buffett quoted, "I will be willing to personally buy $100 million of stock in this public offering (a Buffett's idea which subsequently led to the eventual PPIP)," which, he explained, "constitutes about 20 percent of my net worth outside of my Berkshire holdings." We can infer that he has a personal fortune of $500 million outside of his fortune in Berkshire.

And during last fall, his by-now famous co-op, Buy America: I am, revealed Buffett bought stocks for his personal account. One of which is Wells Fargo. He owns a personal stake of 2,240,000 shares which he most likely accumulated at a cost of about $56 to $60 million last fall. This constitutes about 12% of his personal fortune.

Disclosure: I own Wells Fargo.

I have to say you sure have the nerve to invest in banking stocks. I have never regarded banks' insurance companies' financial services companies as real busineses. All they do is recycle money. As far as financial stocks go I also have never invested in any financial services companies and never will. Just look at their record almost 2 out of every 3 savings and loans went out of business in the 1980's and just think about what happened a couple of years ago. Do I need to say anymore. Oh one other thing most If not all of the publicly traded subprime lenders are out of business today.
