Warren Buffett

Arnold Schwarzenegger has named US financial heavyweight Warren Buffett as his senior economic adviser as the Austrian-born actor prepares for a high-profile run for California governor.

The announcement pairs a movie star completely untested in politics with a Wall Street sage who is the world's second richest man.

Schwarzenegger says Warren Buffett is truly a giant in the world of finance, and will be a huge help to him as they work to strengthen California's economy.
