Billionaire Warren Buffet becomes face of Coke in China: HumSub.TV
Billionaire Warren Buffet becomes face of Coke in China: HumSub.TV: The likeness of billionaire Warren Buffett is gracing Cherry Coke cans in China, where the company´s largest investor enjoys a legendary reputation.
Coca-Cola announced over the weekend that a grinning cartoon portrait of the American business magnate would adorn cans and bottles of his favourite flavour after it was introduced in the country on March 10.
Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett´s investment firm, is Coca-Cola´s biggest shareholder with a 9.3 percent stake valued at about $17 billion.
“Incidentally, there is no compensation involved,” Buffett told Yahoo Finance of the use of his image for “a limited promotional period.”
The 86-year-old investor and philanthropist has been photographed on numerous occasions taking a swig of Cherry Coke, earning him the title of “best-known fan” from Coca-Cola chief executive Muhtar Kent.
In Communist-ruled China, where Chairman Mao portraits are as ubiquitous as brand-name logos, Buffett´s business acumen has made him a celebrity and inspired thousands of Chinese investors to reportedly flock to Omaha, Nebraska, for Berkshire Hathaway´s annual meeting last year.
While the meeting was live-streamed around the world, simultaneous translation was only offered in Mandarin.
As for his enduring appreciation of Cherry Coke — he invested in Coca-Cola as early as 1985 — Buffett admitted in his shareholders´ letter last February that he consumes enough Coke and candy “to satisfy the weekly caloric needs of an NFL lineman.”
“There´s nothing like eating carrots and broccoli when you´re really hungry,” he added, “and want to stay that way.”
