Warren Buffett Almost Invested $ 3 billion in Uber

Investor Warren Buffett was in a hurry to invest the $ 3 billion colossal amount in Uber, but the negotiations on the deal failed.

Buffett himself confirmed to CNBC that earlier this year he was discussing the investment with the Uber CEO Dara Kosroushahi, who was in the process of rebranding the company.

Initially the information that appeared in medias such as Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal was that the billionaire was preparing a deal similar to the one with Goldman Sachs in 2008. Negotiations were first about $ 3 billion, then $ 2 billion and at the end everything failed .

Uber's good reputation was ruined after a series of scandals that shook the company during the last year and even led to the resignation of the executive director Travis Kalanik. Subsequently, Japan's Softbank bought a significant share of the company at a fairly low price.
