Warren
Buffet,First richest man of the world.... |
Here are some
very interesting aspects of his life:
1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he
started too late!
2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering
newspapers.
3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town
Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says
that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a
wall or a fence.
4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or
security people around him.
5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest
private jet company.
6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only
one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals
for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
7) He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: Do
not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule
number 1.
He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he
gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.
9) Bill Gates, met him for the first time only 8 years ago. Bill Gates
did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had
scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the
meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren
Buffet.
10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his
desk.
11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest
in yourself |
