There were no golden thrones, champagne flutes or ice sculptures at Nebraska's wedding of the year. The groom wore an everyday business suit, the ring was a discount purchase through his own jewellery company and the reception was a meal at the Bonefish Grill, an America-wide seafood chain.The rules for Warren.
Warren Buffett, the world's second richest man with a fortune of $44bn (£23bn), married his long-term mistress this week in a quiet ceremony at his white stucco house in the prairie city of Omaha, putting an end to an unorthodox relationship that has intrigued American society.
Buffett's Latvian-born bride, Astrid Menks, is 60 to her husband's 76. The pair have been living together since the late 1970s. Nothing unusual about that, except that Buffett had an apparently close and loving marriage to another woman, Susan, until her death in 2004. The trio even sent out Christmas cards signed "Warren, Susie and Astrid".
