An article in Fortune Magazine (the June 11th, 2007 issue) reveals the truth: "The Buffett mystery – Are Jimmy and Warren related?" And how did Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife get involved? Fortune’s Matthew Boyle reports on the resolution of a mystery" |
About two months ago Warren and Jimmy submitted DNA to 23andMe. (Warren "just kept spitting into a little receptacle, and then we FedExed it. Not very elegant," says his assistant. Jimmy did the same.)
As it turns out, Jimmy and Warren do have common ancestors, but you have to go back more than 10,000 years to find them. That’s before surnames, folks. "Bottom line: We’re not related," Warren wrote to his sister Doris, the family genealogist, who opened this whole can of worms many years ago.
