Buffett To Buy Kerry

The newly confirmed Secretary of State John Kerry is now $23 Billion richer.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital has announced the purchase of H.J. Heinz Co. for $23 billion in cash.

Kerry, who’s wife is the heir to the Heinz fortune, recently divested more than 100 holdings all over the world to avoid conflicts of interest unpon his confirmation as Secretary of State. The holdings are in wide range of industries including weapons manufacturing, food companies and the oil industry.
