I can back this up as being a true statement. He regularly plays bridge (and ping pong)on the Sunday following the Shareholders meeting. He does it out in public for people to watch. He is also a pretty strong advocate of the game.

Indeed. In fact, Buffet and Gates often play bridge together, both online and IRL.

Tough to go against those guys in a cash game :)

Oops, I just realized I misspelled 'Buffett'. I don't know how that happened. I guess pobody's nerfect.

My friend Fred Gitelman would suggest that some of Warren Buffet's best friends are bridge players:
