Warren Edward Buffett is an American businessman, investor, and philanthropist who currently serves as the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. As a result of his investment success, Buffett is one of the best-known investors in the world. As of April 2024, he had a net worth of $139 billion, making him the ninth-richest person in the world.
Buffett was born in Omaha, Nebraska. The son of US congressman and businessman Howard Buffett, he developed an interest in business and investing during his youth. He entered the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1947 before graduating from the University of Nebraska at 19. He went on to graduate from Columbia Business School, where he molded his investment philosophy around the concept of value investing pioneered by Benjamin Graham. He attended New York Institute of Finance to focus on his economics background and soon pursued a business career. He later began various business ventures and investment partnerships, including one with Graham. He created Buffett Partnership Ltd. in 1956 and his investment firm eventually acquired a textile manufacturing firm, Berkshire Hathaway, assuming its name to create a diversified holding company. Buffett emerged as the company's chairman and majority shareholder in 1970. In 1978, fellow investor and long-time business associate Charles T. Munger joined Buffett as vice-chairman.
Since 1970, Buffett has presided as the chairman and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, one of America's foremost holding companies and world's leading corporate conglomerates. He has been referred to as the "Oracle" or "Sage" of Omaha by global media as a result of having accumulated a massive fortune derived from his business and investment success. He is noted for his adherence to the principles of value investing, and his frugality despite his wealth.
Buffett has pledged to give away 99 percent of his fortune to philanthropic causes, primarily via the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He founded the Giving Pledge in 2010 with Bill Gates, whereby billionaires pledge to give away at least half of their fortunes.

This book bolstered my passion for investing and cemented my desire to make it my vocation, rather than the many other prestigious paths to "money-shuffling" Buffett is notoriously critical of. I was surprised by some of the lessons I learned from Buffett. Two that immediately come to mind are 1) the malleability of Wall Street's most sacred metrics (net income, EPS to name a few), and 2) how important ethics in business are for both businesses' long-term economic health and individuals' personal health.

I didn't realise going into this how much of the book was focused on educating and sharing information with Berkshire shareholders, so the constant reinforcement of this to me was a bit offputting. There is certainly lots of interesting information and solid anecdotes, but from a reader perspective, I didn't enjoy this as much as some of the other investment/finance theory books.

This is a collection of essays penned by Warren Buffett over the decades of his running of Berkshire Hathaway. They are collected and organized by theme.

To me there is a relatively small group of people that this book is very good for. One group would certainly be a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder or prospective shareholder. Buffett certainly does a great job making you want to own their stock. But much of the book is very specific to CEOs or CFOs of public companies. Certainly not all of it, and I did glean some insight particularly along the M&A front, but a lot of the accounting particulars are good as advice if you're in a position to make those decisions at your public company. I found just small sections to be useful to me, though it is a thoughtful book to look back on for specific circumstances as they may arise in your business life.

This book was an absolutely fantastic read. Anyone familiar with Warren Buffett and his annual stockholder letters already know that they are a wealth of investing wisdom. This book takes the content of those letters to the next level.

These essays take all of the annual letters that Warren has written during his time with Berkshire, separates portions of those letters by content, and then groups those portions together as topical essays. Because you are presented with a categorized summary of investing subjects in Buffett's own words, you end up getting incredibly potent, understandable teaching on a large number of investing subjects from one of the best sources of knowledge available today.

This will probably end up being one of the books I recommend to anyone seriously interested in investment.

Another masterpiece. There are some books of 200 pages that take me more time to read than books of 400 pages. I read and then re-read every line to ensure that I don't miss one single insight. The book more than lived up to its promise. I recommend any investor, analyst and particularly accounting professionals to read it.

An absolute ripper. Whilst a little bit of the material was irrelevant for my personal situation, I found the compilation to be highly educational and an excellent glimpse into the business and investment philosophy of Buffet. Highly recommend to anyone considering any form of financial investment.
