Bill Gates gives Warren Buffett a 92nd birthday shoutout on Instagram
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO turned 92 on Tuesday
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett got a birthday shoutout Tuesday on Instagram from a fellow billionaire.
Buffett, a billionaire investor known as the "Oracle of Omaha," celebrated his 92nd birthday Tuesday. To commemorate the occasion, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates posted four unique photos on his Instagram along with a friendly note.
"Life is more fun when you have a friend like Warren," Gates wrote. "Happy 92nd birthday!"
The first photo in the Instagram carousel showed Gates and Buffett sipping drinks while sitting at what looks like a counter at a diner. In the second, the pair posed for the camera in costumes, with Gates donning a crown and mantle and Buffett wearing a long wig and fake beard.

The other two photos showed apparent moments of levity between the longtime friends.
Gates, whom Forbes estimates has a net worth of $109.8 billion as of press time, sat on the board of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway from 2004 to 2020, when the Microsoft co-founder stepped down to focus on his philanthropic efforts. Buffett served on the Gates Foundation board but stepped down from it and all corporate boards other than Berkshire's in 2021.
