'Becoming Warren Buffett': Your Chance To Get Up Close With The Oracle Of Omaha

With a net worth of over $60 billion and a market-moving reputation, Warren Buffett has become a world-wide phenomenon. His calming demeanor in no way distracts from the poignancy of his words. From public forums to open letters to posters touting his words of wisdom in local Jimmy John's, Buffett is not only a hugely successful businessman, but he's a philanthropist beyond compare.

But, how did the Oracle of Omaha get to where he is today? In a new Time Warner TWX HBO documentary, "Becoming Warren Buffett," the illustrious history of Berkshire Hathaway's BRK founder and CEO is explored.

"He is only person who, from scratch, built a company that is in the top 10 of the Fortune 500," says one speaker. The story, however, delves into the human side of Buffett: his relationship with his wife, their treks into philanthropy and his love of numbers.

"I'm always playing around with numbers," Buffett says with a smirk, "I find it enjoyable!"
