    Why do people care what Warren Buffett thinks? I've never understood why his opinion is any more special than the average Joe.

    Because he's not the avg Joe? Start from nothing, becomes a Billionaire, living a regular middle class style life. Interesting guy.

    Why should we listen to what anyone have to say?

    His dad was a stockbroker, founding Buffett-Falk & Co. He was also a U.S. Congressman (who made $10,000/year at least, or $143,000 in 2013 dollars). So he at least had that as a base, which is quite a bit better than nothing.

    here we go....so just because his dad was a guy who made $150k/year warren was supposed to automatically become a multi-billionaire??? You guys are ridiculous, so it's only cool when a poor person becomes a billionaire? Get out of here? Let me know when you get to the level buffett's dad was at 60 years ago, $143,000 in today's dollars.

    I guess this was directed at me.

    And please quote from my post where I said anything like "because his dad was a guy who made $150k/year warren was supposed to automatically become a multi-billionaire."

    I just said that he didn't come from nothing. His dad, at least, had money.
