2nd the richest man in the world.

Warren Buffet


Warren Edward Buffett (born August 30, 1930) is a wealthy American investor and businessman.

Nicknamed the "Oracle of Omaha", Buffett has amassed a substantial fortune from astute investments through his company Berkshire Hathaway, of which he holds 38%. With an estimated net worth of $42.9 billion as of 2004, he is ranked by Forbes as the second-richest person in the world.

Biography
Buffett was born in Omaha, Nebraska. His father Howard Buffett was a stockbroker and member of Congress. Buffett was educated at the University of Nebraska (transferring there from the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania) and took a masters in economics at Columbia University, studying under Benjamin Graham. He went on to work for Graham at Graham-Newman where he followed Graham's value investing rules. Buffett returned to Omaha in 1957 and started his own investment partnership, putting in his own money and raising additional investments from friends and family. By 1969, he had returned an average of almost 30% a year, in a market where 7% to 11% is the norm and anything more is outstanding. Under Buffett's direction, Berkshire has outperformed market benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average for over forty years.

He married Susan Thompson in 1952. They separated in 1977 but remained married. She was a significant stockholder in Berkshire Hathaway and a board member. Mrs. Buffett died on Thursday, July 29, 2004 from a stroke. Buffett lives with Astrid Menks; his late wife largely resided in San Francisco in recent years. He has three children. Warren Buffett has not yet named any clear successors to his enterprise.

 

 

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud , 46

The Syracuse University-educated Saudi prince is still the wealthiest single investor outside the U.S., despite a drop in value of many of his American-based holdings. Clearly a thrill-seeker, Alwaleed says this past year he sank another $1 billion into Citigroup stock (down 22% since last year). Says his stock losses were offset by the rise in value of real estate in Riyadh and Kingdom Center, a tony shopping center he opened there in late 2001.
