Warren Buffett Hand Picks Biographer To Tell His Life's Story

book1205.jpg

He's estimated to be worth $62 billion making him one of the world's richest men. And after declining offers to write a memoir Warren Buffett, the legendary investor, finally agreed to cooperate on a biography. He handpicked Alice Schroeder to capture his story in The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder, which is available in stores now.

The book chronicles Buffett's life, starting from his birth (nine months after the 1929 stock market crash) to a very poor family. And although his father did turn things around by becoming a successful broker and politician, Buffett, who is worth $62 billion, was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Little known to most, Buffett is one of the wealthiest men in the world, but has a reputation for living rather modestly and being somewhat stingy.
