People respect him as a great investor, but I respect him as a great man.
He has the integrity to manage a business, humble personality, and he is living a simple life even with all the wealth that he has.
He has donated billions of dollars to charities and he has also stated that he will give away 99% of his wealth when he dies. He also doesn't live a luxurious life and I know that because he lives in a small house with old cars that are over 10 years old. He is my role-model forever.

@dawhooper69 Because even if you are born in the right country, it is luck what your IQ is...what your talents are...what your weaknesses are...how you were raised...etc etc. There's a lot of hard working people who are not rich.

@ksl007 The trouble is feeling smarter yet still acting stupid.

What a guy, really fan-tas-tic. What a genius.
One thing I know for sure: You're really wealthy if you have the things you can't buy....

@dawhooper69 Listening comprehension is your friend. You're lucky to be in America whether you're succesful or not. Similarly, you're a hell of a lot more lucky to be succesful in America, where people like Buffett (I'm sure many of his associates would agree) lose their fortunes daily. Sure Buffet's worked his ass off, but it doesn't mean he wasn't lucky as hell. Can you say that someone who played the lottery every day of their lives is lucky to win, or that they worked for it?

@dawhooper69 It is fairly obvious that most Americans have the luck of the draw compared to Nigerians.

I like his view on social justice.
Warren Buffet is rich because many years ago he spent 14 hours a day learning how to invest and thoroughly analysing companies. Dedication and desire the majority (like 95) percent of the population does not have, they would rather allocate there time in ways of entertainment rather than in more usefull activites.
