Warren Buffett was born in Omaha, Nebraska on 30th August 1930, to Leila (Stahl) and Howard Buffett. As the son of a local stockbroker, it is likely that he was exposed to markets at a very young age.

Benjamin Graham (1894–1976) |
| Phil Fisher (1907–2004) |
One of his influential mentors was Benjamin Graham. Graham’s philosophy had such an impact on Buffett that he enrolled in Columbia Business School to study directly under him. In Buffett’s own words: “I’m 15 percent Fisher and 85 percent Benjamin Graham”.
[12] As Buffett often would say about Graham’s teachings: “The basic ideas of investing are to look at stocks as business, use the market's fluctuations to your advantage, and seek a margin of safety. That’s what Ben Graham taught us. A hundred years from now they will still be the cornerstones of investing”.
