Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove 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, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time, he became the world's richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term "simple."
Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer's questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates - opening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear.
Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett's legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people's lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.

Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's visionary vice chairman and Warren Buffett's indispensable financial partner, has outperformed market indexes again and again, and he believes any investor can do the same. His notion of "elementary, worldly wisdom" - a set of interdisciplinary mental models involving economics, business, psychology, ethics, and management - allows him to keep his emotions out of his investments and avoid the common pitfalls of bad judgment.

Für interessierte Hörer mit viel Zeit
Dieses Werk gibt einen sehr detaillierten, profunden Überblick über das Leben Warren Buffetts, die Menschen, die ihn prägten und die Zeit in der er lebte. Ich bin sehr dankbar für diese ungekürzte Version, da die Umstände seiner Lebzeit sehr anschaulich, detailliert und interessant dargestellt werden und für jemanden, der sich nicht sehr gut in der Finanzindustrie und Wirtschaftsgeschichte der Vereinigten Staaten von den 1930ern an auskennt, auch notwendig sind um die Person Warren Buffet zu verstehen. Auch seine Familie wird sehr genau unter die Lupe genommen, was den ein oder anderen stören mag, was für mich jedoch auf jeden Fall dazu gehört, weil es sich bei der Familie um einen Faktor handelt, der die Person Buffett immens geprägt hat und in der auch einige Charakterzüge ablesbar sind. (Man denke an die Deals, die er mit seinen Kindern bezüglich ihres Gewichts gemacht hat)
Wer also genug Zeit und Interesse mitbringt, wird dieses Audiobook lieben. Wer nur eine Schnellübersicht über das Leben Buffetts sucht, ist hier falsch.

Spannende Geschichte, leider oft langatmig erzählt
Man hat stellenweise das Gefühl, dass Warren Buffett's Leben in Echtzeit nacherzählt wird. Jedes noch so kleine Detail wird präzise beschrieben; z.B. wer neben wem bei einem bestimmten Abendanlass saß, wer sich mit wem unterhalten hat und wer den Abend über eher ruhig war. Selbstverständlich wird auch detailliert auf das Essen eingegangen und wer es aus welchen Gründen gemocht hat und wer nicht. Wer welche Kleidung trug und wie dies mit der Inneneinrichtung des Veranstaltungsortes korrespondierte wird selbstverständlich auch erzählt.
Leider werden die wichtigsten Geschäftsentscheidungen von Buffett, die mich viel mehr interessieren würden, nicht so detailliert beschrieben. Warum er bestimmte Entscheidungen getroffen hat und wie er dazu gekommen ist, wird leider nicht sonderlich detailliert beschrieben. Dafür erfährt man sehr detailliert, welchen Freundeskreis Susie Buffett hattte, inklusive der Probleme einzelner Freunde und wie sie sich darum gekümmert hat.
Für eingefleischte Buffett-Fans, die sich für das Privatleben von Buffett interessieren, viel Zeit haben und über die Längen hinwegsehen können, zu empfehlen, sonst eher weniger.
Wie man ein interessantes und ereignisreiches Leben kürzer und kurzweiliger zusammenfassen kann, zeigt Walter Isaacson mit der Steve Jobs Biografie.

Excitement turned into boredom
If this 5 book series was a 200 - 300 page book about Warren buffet I would give it 5 stars.
My issues is that I finish every book I start
If you are similar I encourage you not to start the snowball.
This man is one of the most boring people ever lived.
Yes he is the greatest investor and all that but boy was his life boring.
It was a endurance challenge for me to finish all 5 books - better get the summary. In my opinion not worth the effort vs the learnings you get.
