One of the richest and most generous people in the world, Warren Buffett , needs no introduction. You know him as the chairman , CEO, and largest shareholder of the conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway. But do you know who the "Oracle of Omaha" was before he became a billionaire? For Value Tamement Media, I'm Gerard Harren, and this is the Before They Became Billionaires project.
Warren Edward Buffett was born on August 30, 1930, and was the second of three children and only son of Howard and Leila Buffett. His father was a U.S. Congressman for four terms. Buffett began his education at Rose Hill Elementary School. In 1942, his father was elected to the United States Congress, and after moving with his family to Washington, Warren finished elementary school, attended Alice Deal High School, and graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1947, where his graduation photo reads: "Loves math, future stockbroker." Buffett showed an interest in business and investing from an early age.
He was inspired by a book he borrowed from the Omaha Public Library at the age of seven : "1,000 Ways to Make $1,000." Much of Buffett's childhood was filled with entrepreneurial initiatives. In one of his first business ventures, Buffett sold gum, Coca-Cola bottles, and weekly magazines by going door-to-door.
As Ace Hood and Lil Wayne would say, Buffett worked hard . He worked very hard. He worked, he worked very hard. While still in high school, he worked in his grandfather's grocery store. He earned money by delivering newspapers, selling golf balls and stamps, and washing cars. On his first tax return in 1944, Buffett claimed a $35 deduction for the use of a bicycle and watch while delivering newspapers.
In 1945, while in tenth grade, Buffett and a friend spent $25 to buy a used slot machine, which they installed in a local barbershop. Of course, this was in 1945, so it could have been the equivalent of about $3,000. I'm not sure if that's a lot of money or not. Actually, I don't know. Taking into account inflation.
Within a few months, they owned several machines in three different barbershops in Omaha. Later that year, the business was sold to a war veteran for $1,200. Buffett's interest in the stock market and investments began during his school years. He spent time in the waiting room of a regional brokerage firm near his father's office.
During a trip to New York at the age of 10, he made sure to visit the New York Stock Exchange. At the tender age of 11, he bought three shares of City Service Preferred for himself and three for his philanthropist sister, Doris. At age 15, Warren was earning over $175 per month delivering Washington Post newspapers.
In high school, he invested in his father's business and bought a 40-acre farm that was tenant-operated. He bought this land at the age of 14 with $1,200 of his own savings. Here I am talking to you right now, I'm 32 years old, and I don't have $1,200 in savings. But I have loans. By the time he graduated from college, Buffett had accumulated $9,800 in savings.
Today, that's over $100,000. I will do that. He had a plus 100,000 by the time he graduated from college. Most young people today have minus 100,000. They have debts, 100,000 in debt. And if you don't believe me, watch this video we made about student loans. In 1947, Buffett entered the prestigious Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.
He would prefer to focus on his own business project. However, he entered there due to pressure from his father. Warren studied there for 2 years and joined the Alpha Sigma 5 fraternity. He then transferred to the University of Nebraska, where at the age of 19 he received a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration.
Congratulations to Tommy Frazier and the Nebraska Cornhuskers . After being rejected by Harvard Business School, Buffett enrolled at Columbia Business School at Columbia University. After learning that Benjamin Graham was teaching there , he received a master's degree in economics from Columbia University in 1951 .
After graduation, Buffett attended the New York Institute of Finance. From 1951 to 1954, he worked as an investment agent for his father's company, Buffett-Falk & Co. This showed what an astute investor he was. In 1954, he was hired by Benjamin Graham's partnership with a starting salary of $ 12,000 per year.
His boss was difficult to work with, expecting strict adherence to standard investment rules that Buffett's young mind questioned. When Benjamin Graham retired and closed his partnership in 1956, Warren already had significant personal savings, with which he founded Buffett Partnership Limited, an investment partnership in Omas, Nebraska.
He began managing several partnerships, and by the end of the decade he had seven operating partnerships. In 1962, he became a millionaire thanks to the profits from all his partnerships. He then combined all of these partnerships into one and invested in a textile company called Berkshire Hathaway.
In the early 1960s, he began actively buying up Berkshire Hathaway shares and eventually took control of the entire company. In the late 1960s, he shifted his business from the textile industry to the insurance sector. And by 1985, the last of Berkshire Hathaway's textile mills had been sold, officially making Warren Buffett a billionaire.
In the following years, Buffett diversified Berkshire Hathaway, acquiring a 12% stake in Solomon Incorporated in 1987 and becoming its largest shareholder. He also bought shares in the fledgling Coca-Cola company in 1988, eventually buying up to 7% of Coca-Cola for just over a billion dollars. And in what would later turn out to be one of Berkshire Hathaway's best investments of all time , he entered into $11 billion in forward contracts in 2002 to deliver U.S.
dollars against other currencies . In June 2006, Buffett announced that he would gradually give away 85% of his Berkshire shares to five foundations, the largest contribution of which would go to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2008, he became the richest person in the world with a total fortune estimated by Forbes at over $ 62 billion, overtaking Bill Gates, who had been number one on the Forbes list for the previous 13 years.
This did not last long, as the following year Gates regained the top spot, while Buffett dropped to second place. In 2011, President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and he is almost universally recognized as the most successful investor of the 20th century, as well as one of the most generous philanthropists of our time.
Here is the story of how Warren Buffett became a billionaire. For Value Entertainment Media, I'm Gerard Harren. If you want to see the rest of the Before They Became Billionaires episodes, click on this playlist right here. And if you're curious about how another billionaire investor got his start, Patrick Beth-David has an incredible interview with Mark Cuban that you can watch right here.
Thank you all, see you next week. You know what? You know what you won't see anywhere here , friends? Warren Buffett hasn't had sex yet. OK. No, not yet. He is a nerd. He is a geek. After Harvard Business School's rejection, business, did I really just say "business "? And if you want to see how other billionaires Words. Many words. More words than I need.
