description: "He turned a failing textile mill into a $1 trillion conglomerate and his own stake into $148.9 billion — not through bets or leverage, but by buying good companies cheap and waiting. The attention comes from the rarity: discipline that lasts 70 years."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Omaha in 1930 to a congressman father, Buffett fixated on business young and studied at Wharton, then Nebraska, then Columbia, where Benjamin Graham taught him value investing. He launched Buffett Partnership Ltd. in 1956, bought a struggling textile company called Berkshire Hathaway, and by 1970 had flipped it into a holding company with himself as chairman and majority owner. Charlie Munger came aboard in 1978 as vice-chairman. From that platform Buffett built one of the world's largest conglomerates, earning the "Oracle of Omaha" label for returns that compounded across decades while he lived modestly. He co-founded The Giving Pledge in 2010 and committed 99 percent of his fortune to charity, primarily through the Gates Foundation. In May 2025 he named Greg Abel his CEO successor while staying on as chairman.
