Warren Buffett was born in 1930 in Alaska .  For someone who is such an extrodinarily succussful investor , Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy . Ever as a young child , Buffett was pretty serious about making money . He used to go door to door and sell sada pop . At eleven years old, he bought his first stock .

He had already made $5,000 by delivering newspapers when he graduated from high school . It was never his intention to go to college.  He was finally persuaded to apply to Harvard Business School, but was turned down in what had to be one of the worst decisions in Harvard history . 

      From the beginning , Buffett made his fortune from investing . He started with all the money he had made from selling pop , deliving newspapers , and operating pinball mechines .

 As for charity , Buffett ‘s strict standards have made it difficult for him to give much  money away . He evaluates charities the same way he looks for stocks : value for money , return on invested capital . He established Buffett Foundation . The foundation has given millions to organizations involved with population control , family planning and birth control .

Buffett ‘s theory of investment is regarded as  bible . He is a unique person , I admire him .
