從心之年：沃倫?巴菲特

出生日期：1930年8月30日

????人生進(jìn)入這個(gè)十年，許多成功企業(yè)家或許只會(huì)考慮打高爾夫球和閱讀間諜小說(shuō),，但巴菲特卻在美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇中發(fā)揮著作用,。他曾先后向布什政府和奧巴馬政府的高層行政官員提供建議，而且在金融危機(jī)調(diào)查委員會(huì)面前就造成危機(jī)的原因予以作證,。他是在經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退期間獲得盈利的少數(shù)幾名投資者之一,，早在房利美（Fannie Mae）和房地美（Freddie Mac）股價(jià)暴跌之前就已拋售了這兩只股票，而且在沒(méi)有人愿意出手相助的時(shí)候向高盛集團(tuán)（Goldman Sachs）和通用電氣（General Electric）給予投資,。

????巴菲特把自己獲得的成功歸功于自己在工作中獲得的快樂(lè),。他曾說(shuō)：“金錢只是我把自己喜歡的事情做得特別好的一個(gè)副產(chǎn)品?！彼Q自己的態(tài)度是“跳著踢踏舞去工作”,。

????整個(gè)20世紀(jì)70、80年代期間,，他把伯克希爾-哈撒韋公司（Berkshire Hathaway,，財(cái)富500強(qiáng)企業(yè)）從一家小型紡織制造商打造成一家實(shí)力雄厚的控股公司。上世界90年代,，這家公司開始發(fā)售A類股票,，巴菲特也一躍成為億萬(wàn)富翁?？紤]到他是世界上最富有的人之一,，但幾十年來(lái)卻一直居住在奧馬哈的同一幢五臥室住房里，而且自己駕駛汽車,，由此可以看出他確實(shí)是出了名的謙卑低調(diào),。

70-something: Warren Buffett

Born: Aug. 30, 1930

????In a decade when many successful businessmen are thinking only of tee times and spy novels, Warren Buffett played a role in the economic recovery, advising top administration officials under Presidents Bush and Obama as well as testifying before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission about the causes of the meltdown. He was one of the few investors to make money during the recession, unloading Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities well before they tanked and investing in Goldman Sachs and General Electric when nobody else was willing.

????Buffett attributes his success to the joy he takes in his work. "Money is a by-product of doing something I like doing, extremely well," he has said, describing his attitude as "tap dancing to work."

????He transformed Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA, Fortune 500) from a small textile manufacturer into a powerful holding company throughout the 1970s and 1980s, becoming a billionaire when the company began to sell class A shares in 1990. He's famously humble, considering he's one of the world's wealthiest men, living in the same five-bedroom Omaha home for decades and driving his own car.
