Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality has been kept private especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that hte public sees his true as far as he goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to rove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor.
