The assets of Berkshire Hathaway though are US$ 297.119 billion, per Wikipedia. He certainly has the vested interest in GS revenues, but perhaps not as much as you imply.

Are you suggesting $3.5b are not worth mentioning?

No, what I suggested is that Golfman Sachs revenues do not make it or break it for him. The guy is very rich. Thus it is unlikely that mere 3.5 billion would affect his public statements, especially expressed in such an indirect and convoluted way as praising the U.S. government.

Sure $3.5b is a lot of money and worth mentioning; but just that alone is somewhat misleading considering it's a very small fraction of Berkshire Hathaway.
