Gates uploaded a video that showed him mixing flour, beating eggs, whipping cream and artistically arranging Oreo biscuits to make a cake for Buffett, who turned 90 on Sunday. Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett- two of the world's most iconic billionaires are close friends. 

Gates also shared a blog for his friends, penning down his thoughts for the ace investor.  

"It’s hard to believe that my close friend is entering his tenth decade. Warren has the mental sharpness of a 30-year-old, the mischievous laugh of a 10-year-old, and the diet of a 6-year-old. He once told me that he looked at the data and discovered that first-graders have the best actuarial odds, so he decided to eat like one," Gates said in his blog.  

He also said he learnt what friendship is all about from Buffett.  

"Of all the things I’ve learned from Warren, the most important thing might be what friendship is all about. As Warren himself put it a few years ago when we spoke with some college students, “You will move in the direction of the people that you associate with. So it’s important to associate with people that are better than yourself. The friends you have will form you as you go through life. Make some good friends, keep them for the rest of your life, but have them be people that you admire as well as like. A person that I admire as well as like—that's the perfect description of how I feel about Warren. Happy birthday, my friend." 

Both have pledged to give away most of their wealth through their philanthropic activities.
