Here’s $20 in my husband’s name. Plus a note from Warren Buffett

Here’s  in my husband’s name. Plus a note from Warren Buffett

The Music Academy of the West has just bought itself a plot for a year-round Music Education Center.

The purchase was facilitated by a $20 million gift from Cheryl Goldberg (pictured), in memory of her husband, Michael Goldberg, a Berkshire Hathaway executive.

She said: ‘This gift honors not only the Music Academy’s extraordinary mission and its desire to increase access to music education in Santa Barbara. It is also a tribute to the memory of my beloved husband, Michael, whose legacy lives on through the countless lives this center will touch.’

Buffett added: ‘Mike’s role at Berkshire was monumental. I had made many mistakes in staffing the insurance business and he not only corrected them—he single-handedly created the world’s best team. Berkshire would be nothing like it is today without Mike.’
