The legendary US investor Warren Buffett is, according to Forbes, one of the richest men in the world, alongside Carlos Slim and Bill Gates. For decades, the entrepreneur from Nebraska has skillfully and intuitively managed to grow his wealth. His large following therefore refers to him as the Oracle of Omaha. An investment from Buffett is considered a hallmark in the industry, as he has an infallible sense for making money. A recent example: at the height of the financial crisis, Buffett helped the struggling US company General Electric with a financial injection of three billion dollars. In return, he received preferred shares of the industrial giant and a generous interest rate of ten percent on the borrowed money. Just under three years later, he is being repaid.
