I don’t actually know if Jay-Z is a billionaire but you get the point. Did Warren Buffett and Jay-Z cook this up on our dime? We want a finder’s fee. Forbes got Warren and Hova together last year in an Omaha diner for the cover of the 2010 Forbes 400 issue. Now the two are in an animated show together.

We’re not here [...]
