Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby joins "The Claman Countdown" to break down the company's "record fourth quarter" and shares how "flattering" it is to know Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger own equity in the company.

Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick joined FOX Business host Liz Claman on "The Claman Countdown" to describe how he found out billionaire investor Warren Buffett had bought 9% of Activision and weighs in on the company's record fourth quarter.

And she said, "Warren just announced that he bought 9% of the company" and so there isn't anything more flattering than having the confidence of Warren and Charlie.
