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.



"버핏 생가 공짜로 묵을 행운의 주주 찾는다"

 '월가 투자 귀재' 워런 버핏의 생가가 몇몇 행운의 주주에게 오는 5월 초의 연례 주총기간에 숙소로 무료 제공된다고 국제 민박 공유 서비스인 에어비앤비가 17일(현지시간) 밝혔다.

마켓워치 등에 의하면 에어비앤비는 버핏이 태어나고 유년기를 보낸 미국 네브래스카주 오마하의 침실 3개짜리 집을 버핏 소유 투자회사 버크셔 헤서웨이 연례 주총에 참석하는 주주 가운데 골라 무료로 사흘간 머물 수 있게 한다.

버핏 생가에 머물기를 원하는 사람은 먼저 주주임을 증명하고 '오마하에서 어떤 경험을 기대하느냐?'와 '죽기 전에 또 어디를 가보길 원하느냐?' 등을 간략히 적어 주최 측에 제출하면 된다. 

에어비앤비는 올해 주총이 5월 2일로 예정돼 있기 때문에, 당첨되는 주주는 5월 1∼4일의 3박 4일을 이곳에 무료로 머물 수 있다고 설명했다.

머물 수 있는 인원은 최대 6명이라고 에어비앤비는 밝혔다.

마켓워치는 이 정도 숙소를 주총 기간에 3박 4일 빌리려면 최소한 2천250달러(약 254만 원)를 내야 한다고 설명했다.

그러나 가격은 문제가 아니며, 버핏이 대박 투자자의 꿈을 키운 유년기를 보낸 집에 머문다는 의미가 크다고 마켓워치는 강조했다.

버핏은 연례 주총 장소에서 15분 거리에 있는 이 집에서 태어나고 신문 등을 배달하며 유년기를 보냈다.  

버핏이 첫 주식을 산 1942년도 이곳에 살 때며, 코카콜라 병을 이웃에 파는 첫 비즈니스도 이곳에서 시작했다.  

그는 가족이 1936년부터 살기 시작한 이곳을 부친이 의원으로 당선되면서 1942년 떠났다.

버핏 모친도 1966년까지 살았으며, 지금도 친척 소유라고 AP는 설명했다.

올해 버크셔 주총에는 4만 명 이상이 몰릴 전망이며, 벌써 숙소 예약이 치열하다고 AP가 전했다.  (연합뉴스)
