Warren Edward Buffett is an investor, entrepreneur and noted philanthropist from the United States, who is one of the richest individuals in the world and is often regarded as possibly the greatest stock market investor to have ever lived. He studied at The Wharton School and at the Columbia Business School, but he had a passion for business and investing right from the time that he was a child. Buffett has amassed a fortune of $71 billion over a period of more than 50 years through long term investments in the stock market. Later on, he operated through his own investment company Berkshire Hathaway and over the years, his colossal performance in the stock market has earned him the epithet ‘Oracle of Omaha’. Despite his riches, Buffett has shown no extravagance at all and continues to live in the same house that he purchased back in 1957. In addition to that, Buffett has also decided to donate the bulk of his fortune to charity and has encouraged other billionaires to do the same. On the other hand, he is known for his candid sense of humour and has delivered plenty of quotes on the principles of investment and money making. Here are the best ones.
