Many people look up to Warren Buffett not only because he was ranked as the 2nd richest person in the world or the fact that after his donation to charity his net worth is US$37 billion. But the fact that he has been named the top money manager of the 20th century. He is one of the most successful investors in history. He has got his degree in Economics from Columbia University in 1951. In 2008, it has been reported that there had been at least 47 books in print with Warren Buffett's name in the title. I admire him because he has made many valuable decisions in his life and that he knew when to invest in which stock. He has a good understanding of stocks and is capable of making the right decision at the right time. Maybe that’s the reason many people admire him
