By the time he was sixteen, Buffett had accumulated the equivalent in today's dollars of $53,000, and hardly saw the point of taking the spot he had been offered at the Wharton School. He knew what he wanted to do for a living -- live in Omaha and invest in stocks -- but his parents prevailed and off he went to college. He lasted three years before he returned and finished at the University of Nebraska.Interesting that he wrote the review for Powell's rather than Amazon. I wonder if they paid him?...
