Warren Buffett’s son talks $800m aid efforts to Ukraine

Warren Buffett is a household name for all investors. The ‘Oracle of Omaha,' as he is known, has turned Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B) from a small textile operation into an industrial powerhouse that owns railroad Burlington Northern and insurance player Geico. Buffett is also a legendary stock picker, getting in early on leading companies such as Coca-Cola (KO), Apple (AAPL), and American Express (AXP). In the process of all this dealmaking, Buffett has amassed a net worth of about $140 billion. What many investors forget is that Buffett is also a devoted father of three. One of his children is Howard Buffett, a current board member of Berkshire Hathaway who is likely to succeed his father as chairman. Howard Buffett is a long-time farmer and philanthropist, leaving the stock-picking to his legendary father. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks with Howard G. Buffett chairman and CEO Howard Buffett about why he is giving money to war-torn Ukraine and how to make a difference in today's scary world. Be sure to check out more Opening Bid here.
