The Warren Buffet story bothers me a bit, especially since him and his pal Munger are cited all the time in HN-approved material. He's definitely one of the richest men in history, and his ability to achieve that is worthy of respect. I won't pretend that I don't want to be wealthy. But at the end of the day it's a person whose contribution is to just buy things at the right time instead of making anything. He is set to spend much of that in charitable endeavors but it begs the question of how individuals can get so massively wealthy and powerful to begin with a.k.a the Batman syndrome pointing to a societal failure. He's had way more of a contribution that I have or ever will but at the same time I feel there is something clearly wrong here.
