Warren Buffett




Think about a person without a cell phone or a computer, can he be the richest person in this world? Well Warren Buffett proved that he could. He still lives in his three bedroom house bought 50 years ago which he claims to have everything he needs, drives his car himself to office and travels in commercial planes (he owns the largest Air Line company). He firmly believes that people should not spend money for unnecessary things. At the age of 6, he bought 6 coca cola packs from his grandma’s shop for 25 cents and resold them for nickel to gain 5 cents profit. Five years later he invested some money in stock market which taught him his first lesson of investments. Since then, his voyage to become the richest man on earth was unstoppable.Recently he gifted 31 billion to charity, biggest gift ever to be given. The most beautiful thing about this man is not his simplicity but his generousness. He has planned to give away 85% of his wealth for those who need it more through Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Its not his money that made me write this article, its his beautiful heart. There are angels among us, he's one of them. Some interesting facts about Warren Buffet.
