Warren Buffett

10 Facts About the Oracle of Omaha

De: Jasmine Dyggan

Narrado por: Kristen Walter

How did a boy from Omaha become the world’s most trusted voice in investing—and one of the richest people in history—without ever abandoning simplicity, frugality, or integrity?

In this insightful and accessible biography, Warren Buffett: 10 Facts About the Oracle of Omaha, bestselling author Jasmine Dyggan unpacks the life and legacy of one of the most admired business minds of all time. This book doesn’t just explore the billionaire investor’s achievements—it reveals the principles behind them, and the quiet strength of character that set Buffett apart from Wall Street’s chaos.

From his early entrepreneurial adventures—selling chewing gum and newspapers door to door—to managing a global conglomerate with calm precision, Buffett’s story is one of patience, purpose, and disciplined thinking. Listeners will follow him from the classrooms of Columbia, where Benjamin Graham’s value investing approach captured his imagination, to the boardrooms of Berkshire Hathaway, where he built a business empire through rational decision-making, long-term vision, and a commitment to investing only in what he understands.

Through ten carefully selected facts, Dyggan captures the essence of Buffett’s investing philosophy and personal ethos. Each chapter highlights a defining theme of his life—from the power of compounding and his early investment ventures, to his lifelong partnership with Charlie Munger, his dedication to living modestly despite his wealth, and his pledge to give away more than 99% of his fortune to charitable causes.

You’ll discover:

• How a childhood paper route taught Buffett his first lessons in risk and return
• Why his investment philosophy prioritises simplicity over sophistication
• The thinking behind Berkshire Hathaway’s transformation into a global powerhouse
• His reluctance to invest in trends he doesn’t understand—and how that saved him billions
• The secrets of his emotional discipline and refusal to follow the herd
• His quiet philanthropic revolution through the Giving Pledge
• How he still lives in the same modest home he bought in 1958

Unlike many financial figures, Buffett has built his reputation not just on performance, but on principle. He famously avoids debt, trusts in long-term partnerships, and emphasises reputation over short-term profits. His investing success is as much a story of character as it is of capital.

With warmth and clarity, Dyggan brings Buffett’s philosophies to life—whether you’re a beginner looking to understand how money works or a seasoned investor wanting a deeper look at the man behind the myths. She also addresses his legendary shareholder meetings (often called the “Woodstock for Capitalists”), the impact of his plainspoken letters, and his continued relevance in an age increasingly dominated by speculation, speed, and hype.

What makes Buffett unique isn’t just what he did—but how he did it.

Even now, as one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, Buffett remains a paradox: a billionaire with no smartphone, a CEO who avoids micromanaging, a business icon who eats McDonald’s breakfasts and drinks Coca-Cola daily. But it is this very contradiction that makes him enduringly fascinating. In a world addicted to complexity and constant reinvention, Warren Buffett is a reminder that slow, steady, and sincere can still lead to extraordinary success.

Perfect for students, investors, business enthusiasts, or anyone curious about the intersection of money and meaning, this book offers essential life lessons that extend far beyond the stock market.

Buffett didn’t just build wealth. He built trust. This is the story of how he did both—and what we can learn from every step of that journey.
