Purpose and benefits

Warren Buffett (1930–) had an eye for a deal from an early age. He progressed from childhood race tipster and paper-round king to property owner and stock picker extraordinaire. By the age of 14 the young Buffett had already accumulated enough money to buy 40 acres of farmland. Now in his seventies, he is a multibillionaire—though not one to flaunt his wealth. . He is justly one of the most influential people in the finance world.
