Warren Buffett Makes Twitter Debut

Warren Buffett, the world's most famous investor, has joined Twitter and picked up 262,000 followers in his first 18 hours.

The 82-year-old 'Oracle of Omaha' announced his debut on the site by simply tweeting: "Warren is in the house."

His second tweet from the @WarrenBuffett account was a link to an article on "why women are key to America's prosperity".

So far, Mr Buffett has not followed any other Twitter users.

The move is being billed as the first social media event for the notoriously technology-averse billionaire.

Mr Buffett is the primary shareholder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, which has interests in a range of companies and earlier this year was part of a group that bought out food giant Heinz.

His renowned investment foresight has seen him become one of the world's most famous business figures - and one of the wealthiest.

Forbes rates Mr Buffett as the world's fourth richest person, with $53.5bn (£34.4bn).

His philanthropic efforts are also well documented and he is estimated to have given away more than $17bn (£11bn) to good causes, including to the Gates Foundation.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates retweeted his friend's opening tweet and also posted a picture of the pair playing bridge together.

Mr Buffett's entry into the social media world comes shortly after former US President Bill Clinton joined the service last month.
