Biography Details

Warren Edward Buffett, born August 30, 1930, in Omaha, Nebraska, is an American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. Often called the "Oracle of Omaha," Buffett developed a deep interest in business and investing at a young age, buying his first stock at 11. After studying under Benjamin Graham at Columbia, he founded Buffett Partnership Ltd. and later took control of Berkshire Hathaway, transforming it into one of the largest holding companies in the world.
His disciplined approach to value investing, modest lifestyle, and emphasis on ethical leadership have made him one of the most respected figures in finance. Buffett has pledged to give away over 99% of his wealth to philanthropy, primarily through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. His annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are considered essential reading for investors worldwide.
