Warren Buffett is a billionaire, that fact most of the world already knows. And some might probably know about his children, Susan, Howard, and Peter.
But how many know about the next generation of Buffett’s; grandchildren?
Warren Buffett grandchildren: Howard Warren Buffett, Nicole Buffett
Warren Buffett has three children. That fact has already been established. However, when it comes to the topic of his grandchildren, the topic is dicier.
Let’s start with the easy one; Howard Warren Buffett.
Howard Warren Buffett, his grandfather’s namesake, is an American adjunct professor in public policy and international affairs, a political advisor, and a philanthropist. He is quite accomplished. He currently serves as an adjunct faculty member at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.
Previously, he was the executive director of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and previously led agriculture-based economic stabilization and redevelopment programs in Iraq and Afghanistan while at the United States Department of Defense.
There is no doubt that his grandfather is very proud of him. The same however cannot be said for his two cousins.
Nicole Buffett and Erica Buffett; are the twin black sheep of the family, or rather that term should be reserved for Nicole alone.
Nicole participated in Jamie Johnson’s documentary called The One Percent about the growing economic inequality between the wealthy and the average citizen in the United States. This, Nicole believes drew attention to her otherwise low-key family.
She might have been right because Granpa Buffett was not pleased. He later wrote her a letter that said “I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin.”
Those are harsh words indeed, considering the fact that Nicole was not biologically born a Buffett. And it wasn’t enough to cut her off, Grandpa Buffett also cut her twin sister, Erica off.
However, she can find consolation in the fact that her late grandmother adored them both, to the point of leaving them a share of the inheritance.
Who are their parents?
Howard Warren Buffett is the son of Howard Graham Buffett and his second wife Devon Morse.
Howard Graham Buffett is an American businessman, former politician, philanthropist, photographer, farmer, and conservationist.
The twins, Nicole and Erica were adopted by Peter Buffett after he married their mother Mary. Peter Buffett, the youngest Buffett sibling, is a musician, composer, author, and philanthropist.
