Check out Warren Buffett’s first tweet

Look, we all know Warren Buffett is awesome. The man is a business legend who, at 82, is still the primary shareholder, chairman and CEO of investment giant Berkshire Hathaway and now he’s on Twitter.

The man who once was the richest person on the planet (giving away a large portion of his fortune saw him slip down the list a little) was typically disarming in his introduction to the social network too.

Warren is in the house.

Buffet famously refuses to invest in tech companies such as Google and Facebook because it is hard to estimate their future value, so we probably shouldn’t take his tweet as a sign that he’s at all interested in a stake in Twitter.

Since joining Twitter, Buffet has amassed nearly 273 000 followers.
