American investor and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, widely regarded as the greatest value investor of all time. A student of Benjamin Graham, he built his fortune by buying durable businesses and holding them for decades, letting compound-interest do the heavy lifting. His patient, contrarian temperament and folksy annual letters have made him a touchstone for decision-making under uncertainty, and his decades-long partnership with Charlie Munger is a model of long-term thinking. His success is also a recurring case study in debates over luck and efficient-markets.
