Doubt, if you wish, that bridge is the finest mind game in the world. You may wonder then, however, why it is that two of the planet's most wealthy individuals love to spend their recreational time engaging in it.
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett battled away through the weekend at our recent Nebraska Regional, along with legend-in-his-own-time Bob Hamman and world champion Sharon Osberg. (No, that's not Sharon with her team in the pic; it's yours truly just posing with the boys. Note that our average net worth is roughly $13 billion a piece!)
In addition to loving the game, Bill and Warren have been extremely supportive and generous in aiding its promotion among young people. Saturday, kids from Atlanta, Iowa and Nebraska competed at the tournament, then enjoyed lunch with the two business superstars.
Yep - that's Bill with the kids. Thanks, Warren and Bill - and co-conspirators Bob Hamman and Sharon Osberg!
Postscript: Some junior buddies of mine performed magnificently on the other side of the world, too. Read all about it!
