Warren E. Buffett is considered one of the leading investors in the United States and perhaps the world. He has been the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer at his company, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. since 1970. He has always been a constructive investor, interested in the long-run success of a corporation as distinguished from short-run profit. He won the Lifeboat Foundation Guardian Award in 2002, the University of California, Berkeley Award for Distinguished Contributions to Financial Reporting in 2007, and the 2010 Medal of Freedom, and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 1992. | |||
