I went to Berkshire to find the holy grail of investing, which also turned out to be the holy grail of life. - Walter Aylett
Walter Aylett, a top South African Fund Manager and CEO of the award-winning investment company Aylett & Company Fund Managers, has attended the Berkshire Hathaway Annual General Meeting for over 20 years. Kimon Aylett, Walter's son and the author of this book, grew up immersed in the worldly wisdom of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, having had the privilege of attending four Berkshire Hathaway AGMs over the past decade.
Warren Buffett, known as the Oracle of Omaha, is the billionaire investor, Chairman, and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, an American multinational conglomerate holding company. Charlie Munger, Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, is Warren's trusted partner and prefers to avoid the limelight, often quipping, I have nothing to add, at the annual AGMs.
This book, featuring full colour illustrations and photos throughout, is not a typical investment, finance, or get-rich guide. Instead, it offers a unique perspective from a 24-year-old who grew up in South Africa, deeply influenced by the wisdom of two remarkable individuals living thousands of miles away. With Warren at 93 and Charlie approaching 100, their insights are more valuable than ever.
Through this book, readers can share in the privilege of learning from the wisdom of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, as experienced by the author and his family, who even named their beagle Munger.
It's unheard of, 40,000 odd people attending an AGM... They'll make a movie about it one day. - Laurie Dippenaar, Ex-Chairman and Co-Founder of FirstRand, Africa's largest listed financial services group (by market capitalization). Six-time Berkshire Hathaway attendee.
