Warren Buffett, an American business magnate, is well-known for his successful investments and vast fortune, has started thinking of gifts for his family amid the upcoming holidays. Being an investment guru, Buffet stays true to his strategic principles when it comes to presents. Warren Buffett’s gifts are well-thought-out.
As Buffett’s former daughter-in-law Mary has said, the billionaire used to always give $10,000 in hundred-dollar bills to each of his relatives previously. Then, he started giving $10,000 in stock instead.
Mary provided an example:
“Once, there was an envelope with a letter from him. Instead of cash, he’d given us $10,000 worth of shares in a company he’d recently bought, a trust Coca-Cola had.”
As ThinkAdvisor reported earlier, “Oracle of Omaha” (how many call Buffett) said each family member could choose between either cashing in the shares or keeping them.
Mary Buffett said:
“I thought, “Well, [this stock] is worth more than $10,000. So I kept it, and it kept going up. Then, every year when he’d give us stock — Wells Fargo being one of them — I would just buy more of it because I knew it was going to go up.”
Warren Buffett’s gifts can give a good start for those who receive them. The billionaire seems to care a lot about his family and wants them to learn to use money wisely.

He said:
“The one easy way to become worth 50 per cent more than you are now – at least – is to hone your communications skills – both written and verbal.”
Mary Buffett who has observed the way of Buffett’s working for years noted:
“The biggest part was watching his discipline and patience and not doing things quickly. He’d conduct research and understand the people who were running a company. All of that mattered so much to his success.”
