The Buffett deal was like taking candy from a baby and amazingly she even thanked him publicly for it!” Carl Icahn In May, Occidental OXY, +0.34% announced the deal for Anadarko APC, +0.35% , outbidding Chevron Corp. CVX, +0.22% . The deal included $10 billion in financing from Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. BRK.B, -0.55%
