Warren Buffett,well known for his business acumen,would have been a journalist,had he not been “lucky” to make billions of dollars from investments.

His comments came during an interaction with investors,policyholders and panelists.
Emphasising that he has had a “lot of luck” in life,Buffett said,”I am not ashamed or enormously proud about it (being lucky)”.
The legendary investor said that he has had “enormous good fortune”.
Buffett is the world’s third richest individual with an estimated wealth of USD 50 billion.
He is on his maiden visit to India to further his philanthropic initiatives apart from looking at investment opportunities.
