Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett is an American investor and business magnate, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, widely regarded as one of the most successful investors in history.
His "value investing" approach—buying undervalued companies and holding them long-term—made him one of the world's wealthiest people.
Known as the "Oracle of Omaha," he's famous for folksy wisdom, frugal habits despite his fortune, and annual shareholder letters that read like investment seminars: Even Warren Buffett lost money on that one.
