Buffett Sings with Fruit




This singing took place at the 2006 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting, according to the video's description on YouTube. I'm not surprised by what I see, considering Warren's sense of humor.

This is a good time to discuss Fruit of the Loom, one of Berkshire Hathaway's companies with a strong brand reputation. I found these facts in the company's relatively short Wikipedia article:

  • Fruit of the Loom was established in 1851 in Rhode Island.

  • Fruit of the Loom filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1999 -- the stock fell from $44 in 1997 to $1 in 2000.

  • The company was bought out in 2002 by Berkshire Hathaway.

  • FOTL purchased Russell Corporation in 2006.


Update: Lunch with Warren Buffett brought a winning bid of $650,100, with a total of 72 bids.
