My Favourite Biographies

Buffett

The Autobiography of Warren Buffett, the second richest man in the world,

he had a system to make money and it worked.

It's truly inspiring not only from an Investor's point of view,

but also the person Warren Buffett, he's not taken off, despite all of his success.

Warren Buffett worked as a Paperboy for the Washington Post, ( which he later bought ) and when his dad wanted to pay his taxes he insisted that he pays his own.

His company berkshire & hathaway which trades for 91k USD on Wallstreet, still only has 11 Employees, Buffett doesn't believe in all the "helpers" as he calls them.

He thinks they just take a piece of the "owners" ( shareholders ) cake.

It's a great read I don't know what more to say, I lend it to someone about half a year ago and it never came back.

Now that I think about it I'm buying it again,

P.S. I think Buffett's 40$ Billion dollar Contribution to the Melinda and Bill Gates foundation should be mentioned in the next Print of the book, in which it says Buffett doesn't want to give his money away until after his death.

One of the greatest and most down to earth persons you'll ever get to know through a book.

When reading this book you'll fall in love with it, it's written great, and Ted Turners life has some unbelievable stories to tell.

He's a Mad-man just like his Father was, but witty and determined,

he's the worlds best sailor at one time, setting world records that will never be reached again.

All that while he was building a Billion Dollar Business, Cnn, Turner Broadcasting and buying MGM's Movie Studio for 1.6 Billion.

He married and divorced, but in a recent interview with Jane Fonda I heard her saying he's still her favourite Ex-husband.

The greatest Business man ever alive, the worlds first billionaire and biggest Philantrophist.

( at a time )

John D. Rockefeller is one of the most controversial people in history, he worked himself up from when he was 15 years old to the worlds richest and most powerfull man,

only born to a salesman he had to earn it all himself.

He crushed his competitors with all means necessary, but gave back to the community with charity.

People will always be divided by their picture of Rockefeller, but one thing is for sure he made history and his wealth hasn't been reached until today.

Get a tea and a lamp and prepare yourself for a night in which your not able to lay down the book in your hand.

Btw. the Bantam Classics version of the book is available from 1.15$ this is the one I bought, it's the first search result on Amazon, but it sorta doesn't show in the box underneath.
