Good Bad Billionaire

Warren Buffett: The oracle of Omaha


Listen Later

How Warren Buffett became the richest investor in history, amassing a fortune of over $120 billion, without moving from the Nebraska home he bought in 1958.

BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng discover how Buffett earned his first money as a six year old, bought his first shares at 11 and filed his first tax return at 13. He went on to formulate his own investment philosophy on the way to becoming incredibly rich.

Simon and Zing reveal Buffett's biggest deals and pithiest phrases from his decades of investing, as well as his unconventional love life. Then they decide if he's good, bad, or just another billionaire.
