Information about Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett (August 30, 1930 - ), a world-famous investor, was born in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. In 2008, he surpassed Bill Gates in wealth and became the world's richest man on the Forbes list. In 1941, when he was just 11 years old, he jumped into the stock market and bought his first stock. In 1947, Warren Buffett entered the University of Pennsylvania to study finance and business management. But he felt that the professors' short-selling theory was not enough. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and obtained a bachelor's degree in economics within one year. In 1950, Buffett applied to Harvard University but was rejected. He was admitted to Columbia University Business School and studied under the famous investment theorist Benjamin Graham. In 1951, at the age of 21, Buffett received a master's degree in economics from Columbia University. When he graduated, he got the highest A. The biography of Buffett, written by Roger Lowenstein, begins with a short essay by Bill Gates, the world's richest man. Gates wrote: "His jokes are hilarious and his diet - a lot of hamburgers and Coke - is fantastic. In short, I am a Buffett fan." Gates is indeed a Buffett fan, and he firmly believes in it. Remember Buffett's investment theory: buy stocks at the lowest price, and then wait patiently. Don't expect to do a big business, if the price is low, even a medium business can be very profitable. In 2011, Warren Buffett (American) ranked third on the Forbes list with a net worth of US$50 billion.
