World's 2nd Richest Man.

[Baimi]

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet,
the world's 2nd richest man who has donated US$31 billions
to charity. Following are some interesting aspects to his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11, and he now regrets that
started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from
delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same 3 bedroom house in mid-town
Omaha that 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 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 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 only given his CEOs 2 rules. Rule No. 1: Do not
lose any of your shareholder's money. Rule No.2: Do not
forget Rule No. 1.
8. He does not socialize with high society crowds. His past
time after he gets home is sto make himself some pop corn
and watch TV.
