It was her uncle Jamie (who's only a few years older); it was about rich kids all over the country and the world. A guy who lived downstairs from me freshman year in college was featured in that documentary. Total jerk, and not really all that rich.
Hey, I drink out of one of those eco-friendly metal canteens!

Wasn't Jamie Johnson stripped of his inheritance after appearing on the documentary?

I don't think so. I just think he received the cold shoulder after that.

He wasn't, but Warren Buffet cut off his step-granddaughter after she did it.

Yeah he wrote her a pretty nasty letter basically telling her that she wasn't really family. I thought it was pretty cold to be honest.
She was featured in The One Percent, the documentary he did after Born Rich. She discussed how he would pay for everyone's educational expenses, but that's it. He would pretty much cut EVERYONE off after that. At the time she was struggling to make a living as an artist. I think she also went on Oprah.
She talked about how hurt she was considering the fact that he had always been her grandfather even though they weren't related by blood. It was kind of sad.

I don't feel especially bad for her. The emphasis on privacy that Warren Buffet has placed on his family isn't exactly a trade secret. Besides, paying her educational expenses is HUGE and gave her privileges that most Americans don't have.

Also there is not to forget the fact that he was a completely self-made himself. Is it really hard to believe that he will expect his family to be the same way?
