Warren Buffett’s Credit Score
Hmmm… This is kind of interesting. According to a recent issue of Fortune magazine, billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s FICO credit score is just 718. While this is far from a bad credit score, it’s interesting that the credit bureaus consider the Oracle of Omaha to be a bigger credit risk than little old me.
Perhaps Buffet should start working to improve his credit score. At the very least, he should probably familiarize himself with the factors that influence your credit score.

Comment by mbhunter — Apr 2nd 2008 @ 1:25 amAfter I paid off my house, Capital One Bank canceled my visa. Why? Because my debt to credit ratios went down do to paying off the loan for my home.
There I was with more money each and every month and no debt except $7,000 on a student loan at $80 per month and $3,000 left on a car loan at $260 per month. That was it and I was a bad credit risk.
The next month Capital One sent me an application for a visa with a limit for the same amount but 0% for one year.
Go figure. First they let me go then they want to give me money with out rent.
I’ll go back but I want a free round trip ticket anywhere in the USA.

The credit companies were actually dumb enough to post a billionaires credit score.
The credibility of those companies was low before, now I really wonder where they get their scores. My guess would be they use a random number generator
