Who is called the "Oracle of Omaha"?

He is the chairman, CEO and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, and he is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people.

Bob Bracegirdle, I was not certain, although I am American. I almost chose Malcolm X. My reasoning was which one might make predictions. The other players added information about the alternative choices, and about him, for me. Thank you, Christine, James's wife

Brian Phillips

Wish that he would have ran for President. With his insight and some advisors, what a shape our country would have been in!

Great role model for ALL of us - wish I had been interested in learning about this, when I was a teenager and working.

Can’t imagine not knowing this guy. He’s old and rich. I live outside San Antonio and he has a Toyota Dealership just down the road. Been in the news a lot. He’s like all rich guys. Big liberal like Gates, Blumberg, Soros and the like!
