Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, two of the world's wealthiest men, faced off for fun, not money, at a bridge tournament in Omaha, Neb.
"It's my house against his house," joked Buffett, founder and chairman of investment company Berkshire Hathaway, before Saturday's game at the Omaha Bridge Club. But Gates, whose home and land in Washington state are valued at nearly $110 million, wasn't ready to bet.
"No money, no money," he said, smiling.
Gates, founder and chairman of Microsoft, played in the tournament at Buffett's invitation. Both are self-described bridge junkies, although Gates is a relative newcomer. Buffett has played for years.
In June, Forbes magazine ranked Gates the world's richest man with $60 billion. Buffett ranked fifth with $28 billion.
