Warren Buffet :: Berkshire Hathaway

Warren BuffetWarren Buffet was born dread 30, 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. He lived much of his life in Nebraska and later moved to Washington D.C. At 11 he purchased his first stock which he ended up making a five-dollar profit on this investment. He got his bachelors degree from The University of Nebraska. For some time he attended Whartons School of finance at the University of Pennsylvania. This institution is rated as one of the top five business schools in the nation. His Masters of Science in Economics was completed at capital of South Carolina University.Shortly after completing college Warren founded the Buffet partnership. This was all accomplished by the age of 25. Had someone invested $10000 with Warren back in 1956 it would outlay an astounding $95 million today. Warren Buffet is worth over 27 billion dollars at the age of 69. Investing in other long-familiar companies made much of his money. He has major holdings of American Express, Coke, and Walt Disney just to name a few. He is also rumored to own as much as 20% of the worlds supply of silver.Today Warren Buffet is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Some of the other companies included under the Berkshire name are Geico policy, Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska, Borsheims, and Dairy Queen. Berkshire is based out of his hometown of Omaha Nebraska. There have been many books written about Warrens investment strategies and his life in general. He has never written a book himself. I found a few books he helped co-author including one that was nothing but quotes and sayings he has mother up with over the years.
