Synopsis: The Intelligent Philanthropist

Successful investing and successful charity require opposite skill sets; yet Warren Buffett's boundless genius for money even extends into the realm of giving it away. The trajectory of his remarkable life has taken him from supremely intelligent investing to supremely intelligent philanthropy, as he continues to lay the groundwork for an unmatched financial legacy that will benefit countless people around the world. 

Now that Warren has created the world's largest foundation, how many and which charities will it fund? This session reveals some of the amazing plans Buffett has established for the philanthropic distribution of his wealth, which includes targeting charities without a natural funding constituency. Buffett's legacy will not be the typical name-on-buildings-schools-and-programs variety. You'll find out how he plans to be remembered instead. You'll also hear Buffett's uncommon and refreshing views on the connection between money and politics. 

When it comes to his children, grandchildren and future heirs, Buffett's estate philosophy is grounded in his characteristic common sense: "Give them enough so they can do what they want, but not so much that they do nothing." This session also explores the value of meritocracy versus handicapping your children with unearned financial rewards and an unmerited financial head start. Finally, you'll learn this world-renowned billionaire's surprising definition of a successful life. Money, celebrity, even wisdom do not enter into his estimation of true wealth. Once you hear what he does value most, you will have an even deeper understanding of why this humble genius has been able to create such incredible prosperity and fulfillment … and how that same degree of prosperity is available to you.
