"Warren Buffett's face-always smiling, whether he's slurping a milkshake, brandishing a lasso, or palling around with fellow multibillionaire Bill Gates-has graced the cover of Fortune more than a dozen times. And it's no wonder: Buffett has been a towering figure in both business and investing for much of his-and Fortune's-95 years on earth. (The magazine first hit newsstands in February 1930; Buffett was born that August.)"
"Buffett has always had a special relationship with Fortune, particularly with legendary writer and editor Carol Loomis, who profiled him many times, and to whom he broke the news of his paradigm-shifting moves in philanthropy in 2006 and 2010. The end of an era is upon us, as Buffett on Dec. 31 will step down from his role as Berkshire's CEO. We're grateful to have been along for the ride."
Warren Buffett's face, always smiling, has appeared on Fortune's cover repeatedly in varied portraits, including with Bill Gates. Buffett began investing early, purchasing his first stock at age 11. Over the 60 years since he took control of Berkshire Hathaway, the company’s returns have outpaced the S&P 500 by more than 100 to one. Buffett maintained a long relationship with editor Carol Loomis and announced major philanthropic moves in 2006 and 2010. Buffett will step down as Berkshire's CEO on Dec. 31 after a decades-long tenure.
