The Fairholme Foundation sponsors the contest, and By Kids For Kids oversees it. The foundation's trustee, fund manager Bruce Berkowitz of investment firm Fairholme Capital Management, said he hopes the event continues to grow because the kids learned valuable lessons while trying to launch a business and by interacting with Buffett. "Anything to do with Warren Buffett is worth doing. The man is clearly the Benjamin Franklin of our time," Berkowitz said. Besides Matthew Meyer, the other individual finalists were Max Wallack of Natick, Maine; Krissa Hillman of Savage, Md.; Fabian Fernandez-Han of Conroe, Texas; Alexis Pollitto of Colts Neck, N.J. The other group finalists were Molly McKiernan, Michael Park, Charles Ripepi and Austin Hayhurst from the Cleveland area; and Clarissa Henry and Esai Prescod of Seattle. ___ Online: Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Secret Millionaires Club:
