Buffett: The Making of an American CapitalistRoger LowensteinDoubledayWarren Buffett is probably one of the most famous investors in America today. He is well known for his management of Berkshire Hathaway. He's also well known for his Midwestern style, his high-profile rescue of Salomon Brothers, and his love of Cherry Coke. What many people do not know about this legend is that he has two very close partners, one his wife, the other who he lives with. While Lowenstein does not discuss this matter at length, and while Buffett does not discuss the matter much in public, it is clear to several observers that he is very close with both women to this day, and Buffett is quoted as saying that everyone is quite happy with the situation. Most of the book revolves (of course) around Buffett's financial career, but Lowenstein also gives us insight into Buffett as each deal passes, what guides him, what motivates him? I was personally surprised that Buffett was in many ways a liberal (and in many ways not), from his Midwest background and occupation it'd be easy to put him into a stereotype. But Buffett just doesn't fit the mold. (For readers interested in Buffet's investment style rather than his personal life, Robert Hagstrom's 1995 book The Warren Buffet Way provides a detailed analysis of Buffet's investments and investment strategy, and is highly reccomended.) |
