Warren Buffet's Kid Show [video]

What fascinates me about Warren Buffett... actually it's not him it's everyone else.

He takes 0 and 25 and the 25 only if he makes a profit beyond what a conservative investment would. Something like 8% per anum, not sure, the exact number is not important anyway.

But your typical hedge fund takes 2 and 20, that's even if they do nothing or lose money.

Now here's where it gets interesting. There are literally hundreds of those funds. Doesn't that suggest a massive pent up demand for investment?

It's a quarter of everything over six percent.

Yeah that was his performance fee when he was managing money through the Buffet partnerships. Now he takes 0 and 0 as Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. His compensation is primordially in the appreciation of his (substantial) share of the company.

Considering the amount shares he owns, I'd rather be the Chairman and CEO of Berkshire than running a hedge fund. In addition, the float from the insurance companies under his umbrella is more than most hedge fund managers will ever manage.
