Nicole Buffett Photos and Video: Disowned Granddaughter Of Warren Buffett

Nicole Buffett has revealed that Warren Buffett has disowned her in an interview with "Marie Claire" magazine.

Nicole, a 32-year-old abstract painter, is the granddaughter of the world's wealthiest man, worth over $57 billion. She was adopted by Buffet's youngest son, Peter, who married Nicole's mom when she was just four years of age.

Sadly, Nicole Buffett made the cardinal error of speaking about her grandpa in public in a Cinemax program entitled, "The One Percent", which interviewed the kids of the fortunate about their childhoods. In the documentary, she expressed anxiety about speaking so openly about Buffett: "I definitely fear judgment. Money is the spoke in my grandfather's wheel of life."

Coupled with doubts about her position as an heir after her mom divorced Peter, the elder Buffett sent a final letter renouncing her: "I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin."

Presently, Nicole lives on $40K a year from selling her own artworks. She also works in a boutique near her home in Berkeley, California. Ironically, she cannot afford health insurance.
