He drives his own car every where and does not have a driver or security people around him. 5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company. 6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway,owns 63 companies.he writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year.He never holds meetings or call them on a regular basis. 7.
