Buffett wins bet on WCup

巴菲特'賭球'狂賺3000萬

Warren Buffett won his bet of $30m against France in the World Cup after the 1998 champion was eliminated by South Africa, according to Bloomberg. Buffett told CNBC in March that his Berkshire Hathaway Inc had sold insurance requiring his company to pay $30m to a client if France won this year's tournament. France fell 2-1 to the host nation Tuesday, after tying Uruguay and losing 2-0 to Mexico.

據彭博新聞社報道，"股神"巴菲特因賭世界杯法國隊會出局，凈賺3000萬美元。今年3月份，巴菲特向美國CNBC電視臺透露，根據一份保險合同，如果法國隊贏得今年的世界杯，他的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司將向一位顧客支付3000萬美元。如今，捧走1998年世界杯冠軍的法國隊在小組賽中，繼0-2不敵墨西哥并被烏拉圭逼平后，22日又被東道主南非2-1擊敗，從而慘遭淘汰。
