The first chapter makes the case that Warren Buffett"s Berkshire Hathaway, although based in Omaha, has emerged as a truly international company. Chapter 2 explores Buffett"s extraordinary gift of the bulk of his fortune to the Gates Foundation. Chapter 3 reveals what Gates gave Buffett as a thank you (surprisingly, Gates gave Buffett a 1776 first edition of Adam Smith"s Wealth of Nations). And Chapter 4 tells of Buffett"s purchase of Iscar, the precision tool company in Israel, and tracks BUffett"s visit to Israel to visit Iscar"s facilities and to meet with the Israeli prime minister. Also, there are chapters (among the 335) about Buffett"s wedding on his 76th birthday, Berkshire"s stock price surpassing $100,000 and Berkshire"s bid to bail out the Lloyd"s of London "Names." The fully revised book has more than 1,200 photos. The back cover photo is of Buffett and NBA"s LeBron James.
