411 on Warren Buffett

Billionaire Warren Buffett was born August 30, 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. His nickname is the "Oracle of Omaha" because he is such a wise investor. Buffett owns a company called Berkshire Hathaway which is made up of lots of companies such as Fruit of the Loom and Geico.

Warren started making money as a young child. He would go door to door and sell gum, Coca-Cola and magazines. When he was in high school he delivered newspapers and sold golf balls. One of Warren's most successful ventures was buying a pinball machine and putting it in a barbershop.

Warren still lives in Omaha in the same house he bought in 1958. His favorite restaurant there is Piccolo's where he always orders a root beer float.
