Mixed Feelings: Warren Buffet

I really have mixed feelings about Warren Buffett. As a fellow midwesterner, I relate to his modest lifestyle and conservative investment advice, but as of late I came upon some disturbing information information relating to him and his granddaughter. His granddaughter Nicole was recently disowned from the Buffet Family, which you can read more about here. The world in which she lived (Warren's), was fanatical about frugality and the only expenses that Warren Buffet covered for his grandchildren were their college tuition. When Nicole appeared in Jamie Johnson's film Born Rich, Warren ceased to recognize her as part of the family. As of now, Nicole makes money from the sale of her art and works at a clothing boutique to supplement her income. She no longer can afford cable and health insurance and this leads me to think that while a man who is larger-than-life like Warren Buffet still has a long way to go in the acceptance department, I hope he finds what he is looking for--if not love for his family.
