正文:Walking past the dusty shelves of the Omaha Public Library, a seven-year-old Warren Buffett read a book that would change his life forever. Titled One Thousand Ways to Make $1000, the book inspired a young Buffett down a path that would make him a billionaire and one of the best-known investors of all time. Now, aged 94, the Oracle of Omaha has finally announced his intention to step down as the chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, the firm he has helmed for the past six decades. He will hand the reins to Greg Abel, his vice-chairman, at the end of the year.
