Warren Buffett
From Wikipedia, “Warren Edward Buffett (born August 30, 1930, in Omaha, Nebraska) is an American investor, businessman and philanthropist. He is regarded as one of the world’s greatest stock market investors, and is the largest shareholder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. With an estimated net worth of around US$62 billion, he was ranked by Forbes as the richest person in the world as of February 11, 2008.”
These videos are a bit dated, but seeing the worlds richest person being so candid is worth watching. Warren definitely gives you a unique perspective on money and how to make it. There is a lot to take away from these videos.

I got to meet the man in Omaha with my university and he truly is amazing. It was cool as well because he even talked about internet marketing! He said Geico gets something like 500,000 online leads per week and he explained PPC to the audience. The fact that he could say the exact number of leads for the previous week and explain all of this really floored me.

One of the most humble entrepreneurs EVER.
Every interview I’ve seen him in he’s very down to earth and fairly candid with the interviewer.

What is crazy about him is how simple he makes it sound. Which I understand to an extent. I am enjoying his interviews and seeing him in different places. I might have to get a B share one year and head to Omaha to see what it is like seeing him live.
