In this image released by ABC, billionaire investor Warren Buffett, right, who plays himself, is shown on the set with soap opera icon Susan Lucci, left, and Jill Larson on ABC Daytime's "All My Children," taped in New York. Buffett will come to the aid of Lucci's character Erica Kane while she is in prison on a fraud rap in an upcoming episode. It is Buffett's second appearance on daytime drama.

This is hilarious to me, maybe just because I haven't seen him in this capacity before and he strikes me as being above daytime TV. Not that there is anything wrong with daytime TV, as I have certainly watched my share. Anyway, the world's wealthiest man made a guest appearance on "All My Children." He clearly doesn't need the money, so what do you think? Was it a life-long dream of his to be an actor? Is he trying to cut into Trump's piece of the entertainment market? Or will his salary from this gig extend his lead over Bill Gates that much more on the Forbes list? Good for him, whatever his reasons.
