Warren Buffett will pay $49,000 matching Congressman Rep. Scott Rigell, a Republican representing Virginia. Mr Rigell voluntarily pays 15% of his congressional income every year. That amounted to $23,103.33 in 2011 and about $26,100 in 2012.
Warren Buffett will match a teenager’s contribution, too. Ms. Murphy from Chicago has sent in 15% of her personal savings toward reducing the deficit. Mr. Buffett wrote her a note saying he’d match her $300 contribution.
Mr. Buffett has now promised to pay up to 15% of his income ($9.4 million) if at least 50 members of Congress do the same.
