Berkshire Hathaway Inc. will sell rubber ducks of Chairman Warren Buffett and Vice Chairman Charles Munger wearing Mexican-themed outfits at the company’s annual meeting, which falls two days before Cinco de Mayo.
The “fiesta ducks” sport sombreros, multicolored ponchos and — in Buffett’s case — a maraca, according to an advertisement in the visitor’s guide to the May 3 event in Omaha. The souvenirs will be sold by Berkshire’s Oriental Trading party-supply business for $5 a pair. Last year, the unit sold rubber ducks of the executives in business suits.
“Investing in FUN is always a grande slam,” the ad says, mixing Spanish with English. “Celebrate your earnings and Cinco de Mayo with Oriental Trading! Stop by our booth in the CenturyLink Center and be one of the first to score our limited edition Warren and Charlie ducks.” Oriental Trading was acquired by Berkshire in 2012.
