Gates says Warren Buffett gave the best advice he’s ever received

(CNBC) Published Sun, Mar 19 20238:30 AM EDT When the Microsoft co-founder sat down for an interview with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak last month, the two answered questions generated by a ChatGPT-like AI chatbot.


The bot asked Gates about the best advice he’s ever received and how it has influenced his own life. In response, the 67-year-old pulled out some words from his longtime friend and fellow billionaire Warren Buffett on the subject of friendship. Gates and Buffett have a combined net worth of $220 billion, Bloomberg estimates, but they seem to agree that the happiness derived from lasting friendships is a true mark of success.

“When you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you,” Buffett said in a 2001 speech at the University of Georgia.

“I know people who have a lot of money, and they get testimonial dinners and hospital wings named after them,” he continued. “But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them. If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don’t care how big your bank account is — your life is a disaster. That’s the ultimate test of how you have lived your life.”
