“UW College of Business Students Meet with Warren and Jimmy Buffett”
Imagine sitting with billionaire Warren Buffett at a restaurant, listening to him talk business over root beer floats while Jimmy Buffett of “Margaritaville” fame gives an impromptu show at the same table.
That was the setting for 19 University of Wyoming College of Business finance students who attended a nearly five-hour session Friday, April 13, in Omaha, Neb., with Warren Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s most successful investors.
To the surprise of the crowd, in walked Jimmy Buffett, a close personal friend of the other Buffett.With guitar in hand, Jimmy Buffett went to the end of the UW students’ table, put one foot up on a chair and broke into “Smart Woman (In a Real Short Skirt)” followed by “Margaritaville,” the song that made him famous.
“During lunch, we heard a few stories from their friendship, and learned that out of curiosity, they’ve checked through DNA tests to see if they were related — they’re not,” Schumacher says.
“It was so awesome to have Jimmy Buffett playing two feet in front of us and, on top of that, to sit right next to him and right across from Warren Buffett at lunch,” Inschauspe says. “By far, one of the best experiences in my life.”
