Warren Buffet is one of the world’s richest men, but he doesn’t measure success by how much money he has accumulated. Now in his early 90s, Buffet lives frugally considering his great wealth and has pledged to give most of his fortune to charity. He seeks no buildings or monuments to his name. He has said: “I know people who have a lot of money, and they get testimonial dinners and hospital wings named after them. But the truth is that nobody in the world loves them. When you get to my age, you’ll measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you. That’s the ultimate test of how you’ve lived your life.” (In Alice Schroeder, “10 Ways to Get Rich,” Parade, Sept. 7, 2008)
