A former NFL player says Warren Buffett taught him 2 lessons about success that he still follows years later

Ndamukong Suh, mentored by Warren Buffett for 15 years, shares how patience and choosing quality people shaped his investment success.

Warren Buffett has been mentoring Ndamukong Suh for over 15 years. The Omaha World-Herald reports that Suh, a former NFL star, credits Buffett's lessons on patience and choosing quality people for his investment success. After arriving at Buffett's office early to avoid being late, Suh and Buffett hit it off, eventually forming a mentorship that lasted for 15 years.

During his NFL career, Suh amassed a fortune and developed a reputation as a savvy investor, holding a diverse portfolio in real estate, private equity, and more. In 2021, Forbes recognized him as a founder of an investment empire. Retirement after his 2021 Super Bowl win with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Suh continues to share his wealth-building lessons on his podcast, "No Free Lunch," with athletes and leaders.
