Early Life

Warren Edward Buffett was born on 30 August 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. Buffett is the only son of Leila (née Stahl) and Congressman Howard Buffett. He was the second of Leila and Howard Buffett’s three children. Rose Hill Elementary School was where he started his studies.

Following the relocation of his family to Washington, D.C., where his father was elected to the first of four terms in the US Congress, Warren completed elementary school, attended Alice Deal Junior High School, and graduated from what was then Woodrow Wilson High School in 1947 with the senior yearbook entry “likes math; a future stockbroker.”

Buffett planned to bypass college and enter business right away after graduating from high school and finding success with his side business enterprises and investment endeavors, but his father disagreed.

Career

From 1951 to 1954, Buffett worked as a salesman of investments at Buffett-Falk & Co.; from 1954 to 1956, he was a securities analyst at Graham-Newman Corp.; from 1956 to 1969, he was a general partner at Buffett Partnership, Ltd.; and starting in 1970, he was the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

After moving back to Omaha, Buffett started working as a stockbroker and enrolled in a Dale Carnegie public speaking school. He felt competent enough to instruct an “Investment Principles” night class at the University of Nebraska-Omaha after using what he had learned.

His students were more than twice his age on average. He made a side venture at the same time, buying a Sinclair petrol station, but it failed. Buffett ran three partnerships in 1957. He spent $31,500 on a five-bedroom stucco home in Omaha, where he now resides. Peter Andrew Buffett was the third child born to the Buffetts in 1958.

In that year, Buffett ran five partnerships. In 1959, the business expanded to six partnerships, and Buffett met Charlie Munger, a future business partner. Buffett ran seven partnerships by 1960. He requested one of his partners, a physician, to locate ten additional physicians eager to contribute $10,000 each to their business.

Eventually, eleven of them came to an agreement, and Buffett combined their funds with his own initial commitment of just $100. Due to his partnerships, which had excess funds of $7,178,500 in January 1962, with approximately $1,025,000 of that amount belonging to Buffett, he became a millionaire that year.

These collaborations were consolidated into one by him. On May 29, 1990, when Berkshire Hathaway started selling class A shares, the market closed at $7,175 per share, and Buffett became a billionaire. Executives from Gen Re were accused in a 2005 investigation into an AIG accounting fraud case.

After New York state officials alleged that AIG had engaged in dubious transactions and fraudulent accounting, the AIG board demanded that Greenberg resigns from his position as chairman and CEO on March 15, 2005. Warren Buffett has a reputation for making investments in goods he uses himself.

For instance, he purchased Fruit of the Loom because he liked their shirts and underpants. Warren gained notoriety when he made an investment in the Chinese company Trands Co. because he loved a particular type of suit.

Personal Life

In 1952, Buffett married Susan Buffett (who was born Thompson). Susie, Howard, and Peter were their three children. Even though they started living apart in 1977, the pair stayed together in marriage until Susan Buffett passed away in July 2004.
