Warren Buffett once had his own fictional currency: Warren Bucks.
They appeared in Warren Buffett’s Paper Wizard, a game unveiled at Berkshire Hathaway’s 2019 shareholder meeting and built around Buffett’s real history delivering newspapers in Omaha:

The newspaper tossing wasn’t a random game mechanic. It recreated a beloved Berkshire shareholder-meeting tradition where Buffett challenged attendees to throw folded newspapers onto a porch, something he claimed plenty of experience doing after delivering roughly 500,000 papers as a teenager.
Watch the real Berkshire newspaper-tossing challenge:

This wasn’t some unrelated fan game... it was copyrighted, maintained and operated by Apple and became Apple’s first iPhone game since 2008.
Players tossed newspapers, collected Warren Bucks and chased Buffett’s seemingly unbeatable high score. The fictional currency even had its own design: a gold coin carrying a large W.
After many years the game eventually disappeared, but its original listing and screenshots remain preserved via the web archive:

Nearly seven years later, Warren Bucks have returned, paired with Berkshire and rewarding holders in Berkshire’s tokenized stock $BRK
What if it were possible to tokenize the in-game currency that Apple built for Berkshire Hathaway, using Berkshire Hathaway stock.
And you could actually earn $BRK for simply holding Warren Bucks
oh wait @LaunchOnSF

Warren Buffett is worth roughly $144 billion.
Therefore, Warren Bucks must have an implied value/market cap of at least $144 billion.

The mission is simple: deliver newspapers, stack enough Warren Bucks and dethrone the Oracle of Omaha.
Nobody said beating a billionaire would be easy. 🪙🗞️
Buy Warren Bucks, earn $BRK
Apple just released a free iPhone game based on Warren Buffett called 'Warren Buffett's Paper Wizard' — and it's a charming copy of the classic game 'Paperboy' businessinsider.com/apple-ip…
Apple’s first iPhone game since 2008 was, incredibly, built around Warren Buffett and paid players in Warren Bucks.

Before Warren Bucks became an in-game currency, the newspaper toss was an annual tradition at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meetings.
Shareholders would compete against Warren Buffett himself, then the official game brought the tradition on-screen and rewarded players in Warren Bucks. 🪙
