Buffett by Roger Lowenstein Summary
Overview of Buffett
Dive into the definitive portrait of Warren Buffett, whose paper-route hustle evolved into billion-dollar wisdom.

The Boy Who Saw Dollar Signs in License Plates
Picture a nine-year-old sitting on a front porch in Omaha, Nebraska, counting cars as they pass. But this isn't a bored child passing time-he's calculating potential revenue streams, lamenting to his friend's mother what a "shame" it is they aren't monetizing all that traffic. While neighborhood kids traded baseball cards, Warren Buffett was memorizing city populations, tracking letter frequencies in newspapers, and conducting his own informal census of passing vehicles. Something was different about this kid, and it wasn't just precocious intelligence. It was an almost supernatural ability to see the world through the lens of compound interest and opportunity cost. Born in 1930 to stockbroker-turned-congressman Howard Buffett, Warren inherited more than just genes-he absorbed a worldview where every penny represented future empires. His childhood read like a master class in entrepreneurship: selling gum door-to-door, delivering newspapers, collecting golf balls to resell, even installing pinball machines in barbershops. At eleven, he made his first stock purchase-three shares of Cities Service at $38 each. When the price plummeted to $27, most kids would have panicked or lost interest. Warren held on, selling at $40 for a modest $5 profit. Then he watched in agony as the stock climbed to $200. That moment of premature selling would haunt him, teaching a lesson worth millions: patience isn't just virtue; it's the secret ingredient of wealth creation. Despite his family's religious devotion, Warren couldn't make the leap of faith-too mathematical, too logical. Instead, he developed a paralyzing fear of death and an obsessive need to control his financial future, traits that would paradoxically make him one of history's greatest risk managers.
