Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Great book

Description
Although the media track him constantly, Buffett himself has never told his full life story. His reality is private, especially by celebrity standards. Indeed, while the homespun persona that the public sees is true as far as it goes, it goes only so far. Warren Buffett is an array of paradoxes. He set out to prove that nice guys can finish first. Over the years, he treated his investors as partners, acted as their steward, and championed honesty as an investor, CEO, board member, essayist, and speaker. At the same time, he became the world's richest man, all from the modest Omaha headquarters of his company Berkshire Hathaway. None of this fits the term "simple."
Never before has Buffett spent countless hours responding to a writer's questions, talking, giving complete access to his wife, children, friends, and business associates - opening his files, recalling his childhood. It was an act of courage, as The Snowball makes immensely clear.
Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett's legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people's lives. This book tells you why Warren Buffett is the most fascinating American success story of our time.

Poor voice performance ruins the story
I’m sure the story’s compelling given the reviews the book had. Yet after just a few minutes of listening you can get the reading is unbearable. Monotonous, robotic female voice that sounds as if Alexa was reading the book. I should have listened to the sample. No way you can go through 37 hours with a robot reading the life of one of the greatest investors of all time !

2,220 well-invested minutes!
Did I really want to listen to a 37 hours and 1 minute biography of Warren Buffett? He's a fascinating person, of course, but 2,220 minutes? I'm 75 now -- that's a big investment of my remaining minutes.
Well I clicked the "purchase" button and got hit with a five part download. I transferred it to hundreds (it seemed) of CD's and left for work. Luckily it's a 45 minute drive. 49.3 one-way trips. I could handle it!
I quickly got hooked. A generally (needed a touch more editing for a few redundencies) well written biography on basically a good man. It's not a gloss-job. The warts are in there too. I give Buffett credit for his cooperation in producing this biography, warts and all.
Really an excellent book and a fascinating subject!

Obviously tough to hear it through the total 36 hours, but at the end I ended up thinking that my time was well invested. Entertaining and educating at the same time... I also liked the narrator, Kirsten Potter. I would rate the book as one of the top listens I've had at audible.

I’m sick of all the fake 5 star reviews on audible
There is no way people are giving this book 5 stars.
I wanted to learn about Warren Buffet not listen to 37 hours of insane details and descriptions of his appearance and environment. Instead of focusing on buffet the author makes you listen to hours of her describing everything but him. If he’s sitting on a chair she would rather waste 2 hours describing the chair than tell you one thing about the man in it. Stupid painful waste of time.
Don’t buy this stupid book.

Surprisingly Personal Account
This book offers a surprisingly personal history of Warren Buffett's upbringing, family and key personal relationships, and the development of his political views. It also describes more fully than any account I have seen before the personality, drive and genius behind his extraordinary business success.
To borrow a phrase from his partner, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett has been a "learning machine" in business and financial affairs from his teen years. While he has generously shared with Berkshire shareholders, business school students and others, the investment precepts that have guided him, there can be no doubt after reading this book that Buffett's success cannot be duplicated by simply following his precepts.
His success is owed in greater part to native intelligence, drive, dedication and hard work.
The book also illustrates why Buffett is so widely admired: it cites numerous examples where Buffett acted with fairness and integrity when he had an opportunity to make more money with a less noble, but perfectly legal, alternative course of action. He exemplifies a life that has placed as much importance on doing things the right way as it has on achieving success in his chosen field.

Far more interesting than I had imagined.
Warren Buffett is far more interesting - and flawed in so many ways - that I would have ever imagined and this book does an excellent job of uncovering what makes him great - and terrible - and, well, human.
First, I am a big believer in the need for men (and women) like Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, and others who, through their own drive and focus, deliver joy to the world while causing pain to those closest to them. Warren Buffet seems to be one of those men.
In THE SNOWBALL, Alice Shroeder brings Buffett into ones own psyche. She goes into such intimate detail about the man, the investor, the husband, friend, and father that I literally felt as if I had met the man. What I liked best, however, was the amount of detail she gives on financial theory and the thought processes that Buffett and his partner Charlie Munger have implemented over the years to build one of the most valuable companies in the world.
Kirsten Potter also does a first-rate job narrating the story. I must admit that I was initially put off by a woman's voice telling this story, once you know Buffett's utter dependency on the women in his life, it was perfectly fitting.

Best audiobook I have ever listened to!!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Snowball to be better than the print version?
I have little time to read, but found that books like this are great to listen to while driving, walking and running.
Any additional comments?
It's long, never boring, and well worth a careful listen to every part to understand the way Mr. Buffet thinks about money and life.

Didn't Expect It to Be SO GOOD!
I read this because I read a couple of other "great CEO" books (Steve Jobs and Jack Welch) and really enjoyed them, and thought I would be remiss not to read about Sir Warren.
I hemmed and hawed about whether to go abridged or unabridged. I generally shy away from abridged books, because then you don't know what you've missed... but then again, 37 hours of one man's life seemed like a lot...
But I dove in and purchased the unabridged version, and never looked back. This is a very thorough picture of a uniquely gifted man, told in snippets organized to keep it interesting so there isn't too much time spent on any one part of his life. I have read other comments that people would have preferred not to hear as much about the other people in Mr. Buffett's life. I, however, found the company he chose to keep (or NOT to keep) an interesting part in assessing his total character.
In addition to an account of Mr. Buffet's life, it is also a fascinating "history in business", with much of it happening before my time (I'm in my mid-thirties).
The narrator did the right thing here: made it very listen-able without intruding.

BUYER BEWARE; If you purchase this book or others containing wisdom of Warren and Charlie, you will be well on your way to a successful life. However, don't fool yourself and equivocate "successful" with "lucrative." It's a book to inspire you to find your true passion is. We should come to grips that neither in the future or in the present will Warren Buffett be rivaled except by a very small few, if any, and that's a speculative notion. Realize that in the "money hungry" society we live in today, Warren and Charlie serve as a beacon, ironically, one such beacon to warn others to chase their dreams, not the money. Work will yield happiness, the quest for money will not. Do what you love and serve others, everything else will fall into place. Thank You Speculative Forces of the Universe for birthing me in America at a time in the most prosperous period of humanity. We Americans have won the ovarian lottery, and you will know what I'm talking about if you listen to the book intently. We all have so much to be grateful for, realize that if you have basic provisions for life, you are incredibly wealthy by the universe's concern. Peace, love, happiness be upon you!

Für interessierte Hörer mit viel Zeit
Dieses Werk gibt einen sehr detaillierten, profunden Überblick über das Leben Warren Buffetts, die Menschen, die ihn prägten und die Zeit in der er lebte. Ich bin sehr dankbar für diese ungekürzte Version, da die Umstände seiner Lebzeit sehr anschaulich, detailliert und interessant dargestellt werden und für jemanden, der sich nicht sehr gut in der Finanzindustrie und Wirtschaftsgeschichte der Vereinigten Staaten von den 1930ern an auskennt, auch notwendig sind um die Person Warren Buffet zu verstehen. Auch seine Familie wird sehr genau unter die Lupe genommen, was den ein oder anderen stören mag, was für mich jedoch auf jeden Fall dazu gehört, weil es sich bei der Familie um einen Faktor handelt, der die Person Buffett immens geprägt hat und in der auch einige Charakterzüge ablesbar sind. (Man denke an die Deals, die er mit seinen Kindern bezüglich ihres Gewichts gemacht hat)
Wer also genug Zeit und Interesse mitbringt, wird dieses Audiobook lieben. Wer nur eine Schnellübersicht über das Leben Buffetts sucht, ist hier falsch.

Spannende Geschichte, leider oft langatmig erzählt
Man hat stellenweise das Gefühl, dass Warren Buffett's Leben in Echtzeit nacherzählt wird. Jedes noch so kleine Detail wird präzise beschrieben; z.B. wer neben wem bei einem bestimmten Abendanlass saß, wer sich mit wem unterhalten hat und wer den Abend über eher ruhig war. Selbstverständlich wird auch detailliert auf das Essen eingegangen und wer es aus welchen Gründen gemocht hat und wer nicht. Wer welche Kleidung trug und wie dies mit der Inneneinrichtung des Veranstaltungsortes korrespondierte wird selbstverständlich auch erzählt.
Leider werden die wichtigsten Geschäftsentscheidungen von Buffett, die mich viel mehr interessieren würden, nicht so detailliert beschrieben. Warum er bestimmte Entscheidungen getroffen hat und wie er dazu gekommen ist, wird leider nicht sonderlich detailliert beschrieben. Dafür erfährt man sehr detailliert, welchen Freundeskreis Susie Buffett hattte, inklusive der Probleme einzelner Freunde und wie sie sich darum gekümmert hat.
Für eingefleischte Buffett-Fans, die sich für das Privatleben von Buffett interessieren, viel Zeit haben und über die Längen hinwegsehen können, zu empfehlen, sonst eher weniger.
Wie man ein interessantes und ereignisreiches Leben kürzer und kurzweiliger zusammenfassen kann, zeigt Walter Isaacson mit der Steve Jobs Biografie.

Excitement turned into boredom
If this 5 book series was a 200 - 300 page book about Warren buffet I would give it 5 stars.
My issues is that I finish every book I start
If you are similar I encourage you not to start the snowball.
This man is one of the most boring people ever lived.
Yes he is the greatest investor and all that but boy was his life boring.
It was a endurance challenge for me to finish all 5 books - better get the summary. In my opinion not worth the effort vs the learnings you get.

Nice but long book
Overall love the experience. There were times when I struggled to understand the financial terms or follow the story. Partly too much detail for me.
But overall a great book, teaching great lessons.

Absolut schlecht Vorgelesen
Habe leider nicht die Hörprobe getestet, weil mich Warren Buffett so interessiert. Habe dann festgestellt, dass es leider sehr schlecht vorgelesen ist. Kann ich mir nicht anhören.

impressive
I had no idea of his inner scorecard - now I'm impressed.
A 'must have' to understand what it means to have a focus in life.
