For sixty years, Warren Buffett turned a failing textile mill into a trillion-dollar empire — and convinced the world he was just a folksy grandfather from Omaha. This is the full story: the abusive childhood he never discussed, the companies he gutted, the town that hated him, the scandals he survived, and the brand he built so carefully that it eventually moved entire markets by itself. The Oracle has gone quiet.
