The Humble Billionaire

An eye-opening documentary chronicling the life of billionaire investor Warren Buffett premieres this weekend on cable TV.

Becoming Warren Buffett tells the improbable story of how a numbers-obsessed boy from Nebraska grew up to become one of the world's richest men, with a net worth of more than US$60 billion.The 86-year-old investor made headlines just last week when his company Berkshire Hathaway gained US$1 billion in a single day on Apple stocks.

Despite his wealth, he still lives in a modest home in Omaha, and continues to drive himself to the office every morning. With unprecedented access to his day-to-day personal life and told primarily in Buffett's own words, this candid portrait will shed new light on a man who has helped shape the way Americans view capitalism and philanthropy.
