The real story of Warren Buffet
Warren Buffett is a business magnate and investor who has a net worth of over $110 billion. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1930 [1] and developed an interest in business and investing in his youth. He attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he developed his investment philosophy around the concept of value investing pioneered by Benjamin Graham [2]. He bought his first stock at age 11 and his first real estate investment at age 14 [3]. After graduation, his father convinced him to pursue a graduate degree, and he was accepted to Columbia University, where he studied under the legendary value investor Benjamin Graham [2]. Despite Harvard rejecting him, Buffett continued to pursue his investment dreams and eventually found success with a series of investments, including his purchase of a ailing textile mill, which he transformed into a financial engine that powered what would become the world's most successful holding company, Berkshire Hathaway [3]. Buffett is a philanthropist, having pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune to philanthropic causes, primarily via the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation [3]. He is notable for his adherence to value investing and his personal frugality despite his immense wealth [2].
