  • Warren Buffet On Giving To Charity

    Warren Buffett plans of giving away 99% of his total net worth to philanthropic charities by the time he dies. This is why he feels it is right. It's a lesson all of us can learn from.

      Not to mention being taught by Benjamin Graham! That definitely had to help.

        Buffett is one guy that you know has not changed that much over the years, despite of his wealth. When I was in b-school, I had to do a leadership profile on him and he still lives in the same house he bought in the 1950s. He is the man!

          I think he approaches his vocation more as a game, as a puzzle to be figured out and not necessarily (as he states above) to be the richest mo-fo on the block. Buffett "gets it," IMO and that's why I find him admirable. It's not that he hasn't worked for his fortune through being focused and being well educated, but he understands the role that blind luck plays/played in his life. There's so much success-hubris in our society these days. There's so much self-aggrandizing and not enough recognition of the help that got them there. It's not minimizing the effort of the individual, but no one ever gets "there" on their own.
