Billionaire Warren Buffett’s childhood home is on Airbnb for shareholders coming for the annual meeting of Buffett’s holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, based in Omaha, Nebraska, in May.
Three nights at the three-bedroom house where Buffett was born and spent his childhood in Omaha will be offered to investors free of charge.
To stay at the house, shareholders will have to prove they own Berkshire stock and submit answers to questions such as what they expect from their stay in Omaha and places they would like to visit before they die.
The shareholders’ meeting is scheduled for May 2, so lucky investors will get to stay three nights from May 1-4.
Up to six people can stay at the house.
The stay is worth about $2,250 during the meeting period, when accommodation in Omaha fills up.
An Omaha resident owns the house.
