Can someone link me to some info on this Warren Buffett guy, he seems interesting, as in someone who has made a lot of money out of smart decisions but hasn't let it change his life too much would that be correct?

Yes. He does business in a no frills manner, contirbutes to liberal causes, never stepped on the little guy to get where he is and is one shrewd motherf*cker.

Yer thats kinda what I was alluding too, he isn't one of these Texas Oil Billionaires who just stumbled across a fortune because they were lucky, he seems to have genuinely worked hard for his forune and understands the meaning of a hard days work, is he one of the billionaires that contributed to the liberal media fund during the election?

At the risk of sounding high and mighty - I met him before he was all that he is now and I have met him since - he truly listens to what you have to say and is a stand up guy

It gives people a bit of faith I think, I mean after doing a bit of reading he obviously didn't come from a destitute background however he is a self made man who seems to work hard, and despite having lots of them, totally understands the value of a dollar.
