.BrettArends: How Warren Buffett does cult of personality better than anyone else

Omaha, Neb. — Would you like to spend $20 for a Warren Buffett baseball cap? No? How about $12 for a Buffett T-shirt? Or eight bucks for a Buffett shot glass? Just under 10 bucks for a box of chocolates with his picture on the front?

I have never seen so many pictures, models and cardboard cutouts of a man who is supposed to be modest and self-effacing. As I sat waiting for my Uber, I heard the front-desk guy at my hotel fielding call after call from desperate last-minute hopefuls. “No, ma’am, I’m afraid the hotel is fully booked,” he said, over and over. “I think the whole town is fully booked.”

It’s a global map of Buffett Nation. People did not come to Gorat’s from Kenya and Vanuatu just to eat onion rings across the road from an AutoZone. They came for the Great Man.
