Buffet actually had an interesting marriage in real life. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/5133316.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/5133316.stm In 1952, Buffett married Susan Thompson, with whom he had three children: Susie, Howard and Peter. Outwardly their marriage looked conventional - his wife accompanied him on almost all of his public appearances, served on the board of his company and was one of Berkshire Hathaway's largest shareholders. But they ceased to live together in 1977, when she moved to San Francisco. As a parting gift, however, Mrs Buffett had introduced her husband to Astrid Menks, a Latvian-born waitress working in Omaha. She moved in with Buffett and remains his companion. The unusual friendship led the three to send presents to relatives from "Warren, Susie and Astrid". Warren and Susan remained married until her death in 2004.
