Warren Buffett, often called the “Oracle of Omaha,” is widely regarded as one of the most successful investors of the 20th century.
As a young man, he worked in his grandfather’s grocery store and delivered newspapers, gaining early business experience.
Buffett became one of the wealthiest individuals in the world and served as chairman, CEO, and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway.
He was married to Susan Thompson until her passing, and later married Astrid Menks in 2004. He has two sons, Howard and Peter.
Buffett supported various economic policies of Barack Obama, though he felt Obamacare didn’t fully address the U.S. healthcare challenges.
