Warren Buffett - Keith Lard
Introduction
There is something special about being considered one of the top investors in the world today. Buffett ranks among the list of not only the top investors of our time, but among the world’s best of all time. Buffett has managed to rise to the top of the ranks in stellar fashion, confounding the critics and earning the adulation of millions.
The son of Howard and Leila Buffett, Warren Edward Buffett was born in Omaha, Nebraska on August 30, 1930. He is the second of three children and the only son of the Buffett’s. As a child he attended Rose Hill Elementary School, showing early on a unique interest and skill in financial and business matters. The young Buffett had a knack for mathematics and was able to solve complicated numerical problems in his head. Even at a young age, Buffett was already dabbling in stock investments, with frequent visits to his father’s stock brokerage office.
His first investment took place when he was just 11 years old. He purchased three shares of Cities Service Preferred, costing $38 each. The stock dipped to a low of $27, but Buffett still held on to the shares until they increased again, reaching $40 per share. He then sold the shares for a small profit, but later admitted regretting this decision especially as Cities Service shares eventually rose to around $200 each. He attributes this experience as one of his earliest lessons on the value of patience when engaging in investments.
Entrepreneurship also began at a young age. When he was six years old, he would buy six-packs of Coca Cola from a grocery store owned by his grandfather at 25 cents per pack, reselling them for a nickel each. He sold chewing gum and candies as well. Then came his own newspaper distribution business at the age of 13 as a paperboy, earning up to $5,000 by the time he graduated high school. That year, he filed his very first tax return, with a $35 tax deduction for his bike. He would also sell his own horseracing tip sheet to clients.
In 1942, Buffett’s father was elected to his first term in the United States House of Representatives. The Buffett family relocated to Fredericksburg, Virginia. Warren attended the Woodrow Wilson High School, a secondary school located in Washington, D.C., whose notable alumni include television personality Alex Wagner, journalist Roger Mudd, news anchor Derek McGinty, Florida congressman Clifford Stearns, Muppets creator Jim Henson, and Ethernet co-inventor David Boggs.
While in high school, the entrepreneurial ventures continued. He and a friend pooled some money together to buy a used pinball machine for $25, which they installed in a local barbershop. After just a few months, the profits they earned from this first machine gave them enough money to purchase more machines in three other places in the D.C. area. Eventually, Buffett was able to sell the business for $1,200. His business ventures even at this age made it apparent to those around him that he would one day likely choose a career in business. His high school yearbook photo describes him as someone who likes math: a future stock broker
.
By the age of 15, Buffett was already making about $175 each month just from delivering Washington Post newspapers to subscribers. He was also able to invest some of his money into one of his father's businesses, and purchase a 40-acre farm.
He graduated high school in 1947, at the age of 17 years old. He did not want to go to college initially. After all, he was already making money from his various ventures, particularly from his newspaper delivery business which had already raked in around $5,000 (or about $42,000 today). However, his father convinced him to attend college anyway.
Buffett enrolled at the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, the business school of the University of Pennsylvania, located in Philadelphia. Wharton is one of the top business schools in the world, with its MBA and undergraduate programs consistently top-ranked by Forbes, Business Insider, U.S. News and World Report, and other publications. Buffett, however, did not particularly enjoy his stay at Wharton, and he often complained that he knew more than his professors. He only stayed at Wharton for two years.
In 1949, he opted to move back to his hometown of Omaha, where he transferred to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He worked full-time while studying, but managed to graduate in only three years by taking some of his credits during the summer. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science
