Investment wizard Warren Buffett said Sunday that adding fellow billionaire Bill Gates to the board of Berkshire Hathaway will help ensure Berkshire's success, even after Buffett is gone.
"With Bill you've got one of the best minds in the world. He's got a good business mind, and he is interested in things beyond business," said Buffett, the 74-year-old chairman and chief executive of Berkshire.
Gates, the 49-year-old founder and chairman of Microsoft, the world's largest software company, and Buffett are both worth more than $40 billion each and are the two richest people in the world. They have been friends since 1991.
