Warren Buffett

The Warren Buffett speeches highlight the importance of integrity in both business matters and personal matters. Referred to by many as the "Michael Jordan of the investing game," he is one of most successful businessmen of the 20th century. He is the CEO, chairman and primary shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway.

As a child, Buffett was always intrigued by and involved in entrepreneurial endeavors. He invested in his father's company, delivered newspapers and bought a pinball machine to turn a profit in a barber shop. He took his interests to the next level by attending Columbia Business School and the New York Institute of Finance. He quickly emerged himself in business and investing endeavors.

Buffett has used his status as one of the world's most wealthiest individuals to support and contribute to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He donates over 83% of his annual income to the foundation. The Warren Buffett speeches illustrate that in business, a 4.0 GPA and prestigious work experience won't always ensure success.
