About This Quote
Warren Buffett is the most successful investor of all time. In 2013, Forbes ranked his net worth as $44.3 billion, making him the third wealthiest person in the world.

He also takes his luxury to a whole new level: His favorite beverage is two scoops of vanilla ice cream mixed with hot fudge, and he has a library of 2,500 books on subjects ranging from Shakespeare to calculus.
