1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets
that he started too late!

2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from
delivering newspapers.

3. He lives in a small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha

4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a
driver or police escorts

5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the
world's largest private jet company.

writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these
companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds
meetings or calls them on a regular basis.

Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder's
money.

Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop
corn and watch television.

9. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the
first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he
