Warren Buffet, the architect and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway is one of the world’s most successful investors with unique investment principles and management culture. He is an American businessman, investor and philanthropist ranked the world’s richest man in 2008 with an estimated net worth of $62 billion. Over the past 37 years, Buffet has consistently grown Berkshire’s market value at an annual compound growth rate of over 25%, an almost impossible feat. Putting into perspective the consequences of such sustained compound growth rate for long periods, an investment of $10,000 with the company when Buffet took charge would translate more than $40 million today. Buffet’s unique principle and approach of value investing where he indentifies undervalued companies with good potential for future growth by analyzing their financial statements, makes him perhaps the most successful stock market investor of the past three decades.
