Instead of legendary investor Warren Buffett, singer Jimmy Buffett, above, opened Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting in Omaha on Saturday. The Associated Press reports the chief "parrothead" joked that as Warren's distant cousin, he was taking over for the 76-year- old billionaire chairman and chief executive. "Since blood is thicker than water, I'm your new chairman," the singer said. Then Jimmy Buffett sang a version of his hit song "Margaritaville" that had been rewritten to honor Berkshire Hathaway and its companies.
