    And Buffett’s dad was just a representative from Nebraska. If a representative from Nebraska passed you on the street, you wouldn’t recognize him.

    His dad “ran an investment company” in Omaha Nebraska, not NYC. It obviously helped Warren at the beginning, but he also learned how to invest from one of the best teachers ever.

    These are just good reasons to help out your kids.

      Well, some of them claim they are “self-made” billionaires. Some have the right, other don’t.

        Nobody has the right to call themselves a “self-made billionaire”. Those simply don’t exist, every billionaire got help and exploited others to become a billionaire.
