He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first and, over the years, he treated his investors as partners and championed honesty as an investor. In the process, he became the world\u2019s richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. According to his biographer, Alice Schroeder, his life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet, according to Schroeder, \u201cNotable though his fortune may be, Buffett\u2019s legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideals that have enriched people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Alice Schroeder<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/Schroeder-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/Schroeder-150x150.png 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/Schroeder-50x50.png 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/Schroeder-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>A native of Texas, Alice Schroeder earned her undergraduate degree and an MBA at the University of Texas at Austin before moving east to work in finance. While working as a Wall Street analyst and a managing director at Morgan Stanley, she attracted the attention of Warren Buffett, who suggested that she write full-time and, in addition, agreed to grant her unprecedented access to explore directly with him and with those closest to his work  his opinions, struggles, and wisdom. Though he has never written a memoir, Schroeder\u2019s biography provides extensive insight into the man known widely as \u201cThe Oracle of Omaha,\u201d and became an immediate best-seller. It remains the standard biography of Buffett.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"umw_cb_additional_links":[[]],"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_advisory_expires_time":"","_advisory_meta_include":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"season":[443],"class_list":{"0":"post-60024","1":"lecture","2":"type-lecture","3":"status-publish","5":"season-443","6":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
