One of the world’s wealthiest individuals and most influential philanthropists of all time, Warren Buffett is widely recognized for his investment acumen and ethical approach to business. He serves as the chairman, CEO, and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, a multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Respected globally for his personal frugality and adherence to principled business practices, Buffett is often referred to as the "Oracle of Omaha." Buffett's rise from modest beginnings to becoming one of the richest individuals in the world is a testament to his hard work and keen investment sense. He exhibited financial savvy from an early age, selling candies and soft drinks door-to-door as a child. By the time he was a teenager, he had begun investing and had saved nearly $10,000 by the age of 20. Buffett started his professional career as a stockbroker and quickly developed his own investment principles, which laid the foundation for his success. He achieved millionaire status in his early thirties and continued to amass significant wealth in the following decades. As Buffett's wealth grew, so did his commitment to philanthropy. He is renowned for his generosity and has pledged to donate a substantial portion of his fortune to charitable causes, most notably through The Giving Pledge, which he co-founded with Bill and Melinda Gates.
