Warren Buffett is 96. Take a look at the business legend's remarkable life.

Warren Buffett, the 96-year-old business legend, is celebrating his birthday for the first time since stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, on August 30, 1930, Buffett started his business career at the age of six by selling Juicy Fruit chewing gum. He made his first investment at 11, buying Cities Service Preferred stock, and filed his first tax return at 13.

Buffett's first major investment was a farm at 14, which he rented to a tenant farmer. He amassed $5,000 by the age of 16, equivalent to $85,000 in today's money. After graduating from Wharton and Columbia Business School, Buffett began his investment career working for his father's company and later under Benjamin Graham, whose teachings introduced him to value investing.

Buffett's first company, Buffett Partnership, grew from $100,000 to $20 million in assets over a decade, culminating in his acquisition of the struggling textile mill, Berkshire Hathaway, in 1962. Buffett's shrewd investments in companies like Geico, Coca-Cola, and Apple have made him one of the wealthiest individuals in the world.

Despite his success, Buffett remains humble, often sharing his investment strategies and insights through his famous shareholder letters and annual meetings.
