Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates offered a sweet video tribute to his billionaire friend Warren Buffett on Sunday in honour of his 90th birthday. With Randy Newman's "You Got a Friend" playing in the background, Gates made a delicious-looking Oreo cake. He topped it off with Buffett's face on the top, drawn in chocolate icing.

At the end of the 60-second video, Gates cuts a slice, serves it on a plate with a fork, and leaves the message "Happy 90th birthday Warren" in Oreo dust.

"It was a deep friendship from our very first conversation," Gates recalled. “Of all the things I’ve learned from Warren, the most important thing might be what friendship is all about," he wrote in his blog.
