Warren Buffet
– Though Warren Buffet isn’t a big contributor to science like many other names listed, he does have a ton of knowledge about making money through investing. He is a known philanthropist (someone who donates their time & money for charitable causes) and Time Magazine has regarded Buffet as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in the world. He was also ranked by Forbes in 2008 as the richest person in the world. His company [Berkshire Hathaway] has an estimated net worth of $62 billion dollars. Warren is a very intelligent man and a financial genius.

Buffett was born in 1930 in
Omaha
, Nebraska, the second of three children and only son of U.S. Representative
Howard Buffett
,
[14]
a fierce critic of the interventionist
New Deal
domestic and foreign policy, and his wife Leila (née Stahl). Buffett began his education at Rose Hill Elementary School in Omaha. In 1942, his father was elected to the first of four terms in the
United States Congress
, and after moving with his family to Washington, D.C., Warren finished elementary school, attended Alice Deal Junior High School, and graduated from
Woodrow Wilson High School
in 1947, where his senior yearbook picture reads: "likes math; a future stockbroker".

Even as a child, Buffett displayed an interest in making and saving money. He went door to door selling chewing gum,
Coca-Cola
, or weekly magazines. For a while, he worked in his grandfather's grocery store. While still in high school he was successful in making money by delivering newspapers, selling golfballs and stamps, and detailing cars, among other means. Filing his first income
tax return
in 1944, Buffett took a $35 deduction for the use of his bicycle and watch on his paper route.

In 1945, in his sophomore year of high school, Buffett and a friend spent $25 to purchase a used
pinball
machine, which they placed in the local
barber shop
. Within months, they owned several machines in different barber shops.
Buffett's interest in the stock market and investing also dated to his childhood, to the days he spent in the customers' lounge of a regional
stock brokerage
near the office of his father's own brokerage company. On a trip to New York City at the age of ten, he made a point to visit the
New York Stock Exchange
. At the age of 11, he bought three shares of
Cities Service
Preferred for himself, and three for his sister.

[18]
While in high school he invested in a business owned by his father and bought a farm worked by a tenant farmer. By the time he finished college, Buffett had accumulated more than $90,000 in savings measured in 2009 dollars.
Buffett entered college as a freshman in 1947 at the
Wharton Business School
of the
University of Pennsylvania
and studied there for two years from 1947 to 1949. In the year 1950, when he entered his junior year, he transferred to the
University of Nebraska–Lincoln
where at the age of nineteen, he graduated with a
Bachelor of Science
in
business administration
. After the completion of his undergraduate studies, Buffett enrolled at
Columbia Business School
after learning that
Benjamin Graham
(author of "
The Intelligent Investor
" – one of his favorite books on investing) and
David Dodd
, two well-known
securities analysts
, taught there. He earned a
Master of Science
in
economics
from Columbia in 1951. Buffett also attended the
New York Institute of Finance
. In Buffett's own words:
“
I'm 15 percent
Fisher
and 85 percent Benjamin Graham.
The basic ideas of investing are to look at stocks as business, use the market's fluctuations to your advantage, and seek a
margin of safety
. That's what Ben Graham taught us. A hundred years from now they will still be the cornerstones of investing.
