25 years ago, Bill Gates's mother made him be friends with Warren Buffett. Then about 35-years-old, Mr Gates had already co-founded Microsoft and was a tech giant - but hey, when mom says you gotta be friends with the world's biggest investor, you just gotta.
So Bill Gates and Warren Buffett became friends and have remained friends ever since Mrs Gates engineered a meeting and on July 5, 2016 - the 25th anniversary - Bill Gates posted an old picture on Facebook, accompanied by a blog about the friendship.
The picture of Mr Gates, now 60, and Mr Buffett, now 85, is undated and appears to have been taken at a McDonald's outlet somewhere in the Far East. Their current worth is $87 billion and $63 billion respectively. That's $150 billion right there, in one picture.
In his blog, Bill Gates writes, "I've learned many things from Warren over the last 25 years, but maybe the most important thing is what friendship is all about. It's about being the kind of friend you wish you had yourself. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a friend who is as thoughtful and kind as Warren. He goes out of his way to make people feel good about themselves and share his joy about life."
Also, Warren Buffett apparently eats Oreos for breakfast.
