The Second Richest Man In The World.

The Second Richest Man In The World..

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren
Buffet, the second
richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity.
Here are some very
interesting aspects of his life:

1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now
regrets that he started too late!

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings
from delivering newspapers.

3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house

in mid-town Omaha,
which he bought after he got married 50 years ago.
He says that he has
everything he needs in that house. His house does
not have a wall or a
fence.

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not
have a driver or
security people around him.

5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns
the world's largest
private jet company.

6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63
companies. He writes only
one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies,
giving them goals
for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them
on a regular basis.

7) He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share
holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

8) He does not socialize with the high society
crowd. His past time
after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn
and watch television.

9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for
the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything

in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only
for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours
and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor
has a computer on his desk.

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from
credit cards and invest in yourself .
