Warren BuffetWarren Buffet was born on August 30, 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. He lived much of his life in Nebraska and later moved to Washington DC. At age 11, he bought his first stock and ended up making a profit of five dollars on that investment. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska. For a time, he attended Wharton's School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania. This institution is ranked among the top five business schools in the country. His master's degree in economics was obtained from Columbia University. Shortly after finishing college, Warren founded the Buffet Partnership. All this was accomplished by the age of 25. If someone had invested $10,000 with Warren in 1956, it would be worth an incredible $95 million today. Warren Buffet is worth over $27 billion at the age of 69. His investments in other well-known companies earned him much of his money. It has significant stakes in American Express, Coke and Walt Disney, to name a few. It is also said to have up to 20% of the world's silver supply. Today, Warren Buffet is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Some of the other companies included under the Berkshire name are Geico Insurance, Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska, Borsheim's, and Dairy Queen. Berkshire is based in his hometown of Omaha Nebraska. Many books have been written about Warren's investment strategies and her life in general. He never wrote a book himself. I found a few books he helped co-write, including one that was just quotes and sayings he made up over the years..
