Mad respect for Buffett


Made more money than almost anyone had before, and gives it all away

Wow, 31 billion. Most people will never see that much money in their lives, yet alone give it all away. I have to respect that. I mean he could leave it to his children, who will all end up like the Kennedys. I look back at my ex girlfriend. She was set for life, her dad had made a ton of money, and was caring enough to leave it to his children. I used to think that is what i wanted, but now after seeing warren give it all away, i think id do the same.
"WARREN BUFFETT, CHAIRMAN, BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC: It isn`t in keeping with my view of how the world should operate to create huge amounts of dynastic wealth. I really believe that in terms of having equality of opportunity in this country, and the right people in the right jobs doing the right things, I don`t think they should inherit my position in society."
Thats huge!!!!! You look at the world richest people, top 10:
1. Bill Gates, $50 billion, self made
2. Warren Buffett, $42 billion, self made
3. Carlos Slim Helu, $30 billion, self made
4. Ingvar Kamprad, $28 billion, self made
5. Lakshmi Mittal, $23.5 billion, Inherited
6. Paul Allen, $22 billion, self made
7. Bernard Arnault, $21.5 billion, Inherited
8. Al-Waleed Bin Saud, $20 billion, Inherited
9. Li Ka-shing, $18.8 billion, self made
10. Roman Abramovich, $18.2 billion, self made
WOW 7 out of 10 are self made. They started with little or nothing, coming from modest means, and became rich. I came from nothing. I make decent money now, but i have larger goals. I believe that the united states needs me. This country needs people who are hard workers.
yeah, thats it for now i might expand on this later.
