Imagine your dad is worth over $130 billion and he tells you to go to the bank for a $41,000 loan. That's exactly what happened when Warren Buffett's daughter, Susie asked him for help remodeling her kitchen, her request a $41,000 loan. His response, why don't you go to the bank? Yep. The Oracle of Omaha didn't whip out his checkbook.
He gave her a lesson in self-reliance. Instead, Susie later said she wasn't offended. She understood her dad wanted her to stand on her own. Buffet has always preached financial discipline even with his own family. No trust fund kids, no silver spoons, just responsibility. And it's not just talk. Buffet's also pledged to give away nearly all of his fortune rather than leave it to his heirs in the buffet household.
Being a billionaire's kid doesn't come with a free kitchen.
