Daily Finance – by Steven Perlberg
Plucked from obscurity, 28-year-old Tracy Britt has become Warren Buffett’s right-hand woman.
She may be five decades younger than her boss, but the Kansas-born, Harvard MBA has climbed the ladder at Berkshire Hathaway in just four years, from financial assistant to top confidant and chairman of some Berkshire offshoots.
The Wall Street Journal reports:
The firms in which she serves as chairman, including building-products company Johns Manville Corp. and paint manufacturer Benjamin Moore & Co., total more than $4 billion in annual sales. In March, a few weeks after Berkshire and Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital said they would buy ketchup maker H.J. Heinz & Co. for $23 billion, Mr. Buffett sent Ms. Britt to Brazil, according to people familiar with the matter.
Britt’s office is right next to Buffett’s at Berkshire headquarters, and sources told the Journal that the 82-year-old magnate is grooming her for a senior position after he steps down.
Ms. Britt is also one of the most influential women within Berkshire, which has three women directors on a 13-member board and five women CEOs out of 81 operating companies.
Ms. Britt “takes care of all kinds of things that come up,” Mr. Buffett told college students in Omaha last month.
Don’t forget the name Tracy Britt.

Looks more like a GMO corn fed walking stock option to me. Wonder what her and Warren talk about at 50,000 feet while doing 650 MPH in a $50 million Jet? Warren sure likes em young, go get em chief…
What will Hillary think?
“sources told the Journal that the 82-year-old magnate is grooming her for a senior position”
I guess the old guy wants her on top. It’s probably a lot easier on his ticker.
The key words are “right hand woman” wonder what her job disciption really is…screw the old man????
Buffet wants dumb girl from Red Square so he can get away with BS…thats why all banks hire women. Notice that there is a direct relationship between number of women in banks and banking scandals? Its not a coincidence. I heard women in bank brag about how ugly CEO was ‘gorgeous’…he look like Bilbo Baggins…but b/c he has power they will shine his balls
That twit looks all of twelve years old. The perversions of the rich and powerful are truly disgusting!
Mr. Buffet gave her job description in the last quote in the story-“Ms. Britt will take care of all kinds of things that come up.” Guess I don’t have to say anymore, as I’m sure all of you on FTT can guess what will come up!! Bill Clinton will be so jealous of Warren.
lol Paula
I wonder if she even knows how to use a Number 2 pencil.
