The chances are that Astrid immigrated to the United States somewhere in the '70s. She chose Omaha, Nebraska as her place of residence. Upon her arrival in America, she landed a job as a waitress at a local French cafe/cocktail bar.

Around the same time, her future husband Warren Buffet was as an investor with the Midas' Touch. Bored with all success around them, his then-wife Susan Thompson returned to her former career as a nightclub singer and began working at the same cocktail bar as Astrid.
And in 1977, Susan left Warren on Astrid and "the girls" care to pursue her musical career and moved to San Francisco. By then, the duo was in a 25-year-long marriage.
Eventually, Astrid and Warren forged a romance and even started to live together. Despite everything, her husband Warren never divorced Susan and also didn't put cease to their collaborations.

To the outside world, the trio seemed like an odd pairing, but in truth, they were a well-oiled machine. While Astrid looked after the household affairs, Susan dealt with Warren's philanthropic endeavors.
Wedding Details - Children & Married Life
In 2004, Susan passed away. And two years later, Astrid and her husband Warren got married in an intimate wedding ceremony at the Ohama residence of Susie, the billionaire's daughter.
All of the married duo close friends and family attended the private event. On the big day, the bride wore a black top and pants of the same color while her groom looked dapper in a black business suit.

The wedding, in many ways, wouldn't be possible without the blessing of Astrid's step-children: Susie, Howard, and Peter. To this day, all three speak highly of her.
Sadly, Astrid and her husband Warren's marriage didn't bear any children.
About Her Net Worth
Common law dictates that a wife gets entitled to half of her husband's fortune upon the divorce. By that logic, Astrid owns half of Warren's $86 billion net worth.
