πDid you know that Warren Buffet didn't start making money until he hit his 50s? In fact, about 99.7% of his wealth was earned after his fifty second birthday. That doesn't mean he was a late bloomer in any sense. He started his financial path towards wealth at a very young age and built his fortune slowly. By the time he was eleven years old, he was buying stock. When he was a teenager, he filed his first tax return, delivered newspapers and owned multiple machines placed in various businesses. When he graduated, he already owed a stake in a forty-acre farm.
He was a natural-born entrepreneur who had an unreasonable approach to creating his wealth. In fact, he said he would be a millionaire by the age of thirty or jump off of the tallest bridge in Omaha. He went to work for legendary investor, Benjamin Graham after college. Using what he learned there he formed an investment partnership with friends and relatives and put all of his money there. He eventually closed the partnership, retired from managing it and bought controlling stock in Berkshire Hathaway, the company that has become synonymous with his name.
In his early forties, he purchased see's candies for 25 million dollars and the company would earn 2 billion dollars in profits over the next 40+ years. In 1978, the median U.S. household income was about $21,000. Buffet's wealth was 4,500 times more than that. In 1982, Forbes printed the first list of the 400 richest Americans. Buffet has been on the list every single year it has existed. For his first appearance, he was listed with a net worth of $250 million dollars.
Three years later, he quadrupled that number. And in 1989 he was worth 3.6 billion dollars. - More than tripling his 1 billion in just four years! As of July 2018, Buffet's net worth was 86.6 billion dollars per Forbes. And believe it or not, even though he has an eleven-figure income, he draws a salary of only $100,000 at Berkshire Hathaway and spends it frugally. How did he increase his wealth by so much so fast? In the broadest of explanations, he invested wisely in real assets that produced a positive cash flow for him each month and remained "broke" - meaning he kept his expenses as a lower rate, so he had money left over to keep investing.
His mindset was not to accept the median household income and the trap of the middle-class. He was unreasonable in his approach to gaining wealth and investing. How exactly was he unreasonable? His mindset was not to accept the median household income and the trap of the middle-class. He had people surrounding him. Telling him that he had made it, to relax, to not work so hard and enjoy the fruits of his labors. He kept his same work ethic and his same approach to investing year after year - never relenting coasting.
