Born on 30 August, 1930, Warren Buffett’s got 94 years’ worth of life experience — and 83 years worth of investment experience, given the “Oracle of Omaha” bought his first stock aged 11, according to biographer Roger Lowenstein.
Buffett, one of the world’s most accomplished investors, is most known for making hundreds of billions of dollars buying shares in what he believes to be undervalued companies, and holding them for a long time. His investment company Berkshire Hathaway, which he took control over in 1965, became only the ninth company in history to close at a market valuation above $1tn on 28 August.
