Okay, Kate, welcome back to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast. Yes, and we're talking all about Owen's favourite man in the world. Warren Buffett. With two Ts. With two Ts, that's right. We've got a topic that's about an individual. I don't think we've had a topic about a single person. No. And it's probably fitting too because he's often called the world's greatest investor.
So we'll dig into who he is if you've heard his name around, but you don't know exactly what he's about. We'll fill in the blanks. Yeah, and talk all about what the big deal is about Warren Buffett. And then we've got some quotes and we might just, I guess, shoot the breeze and some of those quotes and what they might mean and some of the lessons we can draw from them. And that's going to be the episode. So I'm keen to get into this. Kate, why don't you tell us who is Warren Buffett?
Okay.
Well, he's an investor in the US that has a company called Berkshire Hathaway. Well, that's listed now, so he doesn't own all of it. But he is well known for being a famous investor and buying many companies at good prices and sort of investing in that value investing style. And that's the idea that you buy things for less than what they're worth, which is probably easier said than done, right? Yeah. And when I was reading on the weekend, he's worth around 82 billion US sort of mid this year.
