Buffett, Warren Edward (1930- ), American financier, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., an investment company with corporate holdings in excess of $2 billion. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Buffett worked as an investment salesman for his father's brokerage firm in the 1950s before moving to the Graham-Newman Corporation, a portfolio-management company in New York City. Buffett returned to Omaha and formed the Buffett Partnership, a limited-partnership investment fund. In 1969 he took over Berkshire Hathaway, a small textile company in Bedford, Massachusetts. To this base he added insurance companies, banks, steel-service companies, department stores, food companies, and news-media organizations. During the 1980s he helped forge an agreement between the American Broadcasting Companies (ABC) and Capital Cities Communications that gave Berkshire Hathaway part ownership of Capital Cities/ABC, Inc.
