The Snowball

"At just eleven years old, he had accumulated $120—a substantial sum in 1941. With these savings, he made his debut as an investor, purchasing six shares of Cities Service Preferred stock, splitting them equally between himself and his sister Doris." Published in 2008, The Snowball provides an intimate examination of Warren Buffett's remarkable journey. This biography traces how an introverted, socially awkward boy earned his first million and applied consistent principles to eventually become one of the world's wealthiest individuals.
