"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." -Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett
Warren Edward Buffett is an American investor and businessman. He was born in 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska.
Buffett became one of the central figures in Berkshire Hathaway's transformation from a struggling textile company into a diversified holding company.
For decades, he served as Berkshire Hathaway's chairman and chief executive officer. At the end of 2025, he stepped down as CEO while continuing as chairman.
Buffett is widely associated with long-term investing and the purchase of businesses that he and his partners believe have strong underlying qualities.
His approach emphasizes patience, understanding businesses, disciplined capital allocation, and thinking about investments over long periods of time rather than focusing primarily on short-term market movements.
Buffett's annual letters to Berkshire shareholders and appearances at the company's annual meeting have become well-known sources of commentary about business and investing.
