How Bill Gates Refused Warren Buffet's Marriage Advice

Description

'The Deals of Warren Buffett Volume 2: The Making of a Billionaire' reveals how Buffet gave Microsoft founder Bill Gates some 'marital' advice. According to Markets Insider, the Berkshire Hathaway boss took Gates and his future wife, Melinda, ring shopping at Borsheims--one of Buffet's businesses. That's when Buffett told Gates that he'd spent 6% of his net wealth on an engagement ring in 1951--and Gates should do the same. At the time of the 1993 romantic shopping trip, Gates was worth around $6.2 billion. Unfortunately for Buffet, Gates declined to shell out $370 million — nearly $660 million in today's dollars.

Ce massacre à la Préhistoire était une véritable boucherie ! #shorts

Des archéologues européens ont analysé 3 000 os humains d’un site en Angleterre, montrant des traces d’un massacre d’une rare violence. Leur étude, qui essaye de comprendre ce qui est arrivé à ce peuple, a été publiée dans le journal Antiquity ce 16 décembre 2024. Une équipe européenne d’archéologues a publié une étude dans le journal Antiquity, ce 16 décembre 2024. Les scientifiques, menés par le professeur Rick Schulting de l’université d’Oxford, y analysent 3 000 os humains datant du début de l’âge du bronze, trouvés dans les années 1970 sur le site de Charterhouse Warren, en Angleterre. Ces restes appartiennent à 37 personnes : hommes, femmes et enfants confondus, ce qui laisse à penser qu’il s’agissait d’une communauté. Leurs restes ont été retrouvés dans un puits de 15 m de profondeur et il semblerait qu’ils y aient été jetés après leur mort.
