Subject: Re: Decker on CNBC
At the moment that's a little under $1.7 million worth.
Some people would call that a lot of money. Especially bearing in mind that Berkshire's directors basically aren't paid, so the shareholding couldn't be built up that way.
Based on her bio, I suspect Ms. Decker's net worth is well north of $50 million so her BRK holding is puny anyway one looks at it. Given the ethos of Berkshire & given her position as the lead independent director, I am confused as to why she doesn't own way more stock in BRK after so many years on the company board. She probably got the Costco & MTN shares w/o paying for them as compensation for her board service at those companies.
