欧斯默的8亿美元是怎样“炼”成的
美国布鲁克林工业大学有一位任职了60年的教授欧斯默，这位老教授和他太太生活简朴，住在布鲁克林区，平日以地铁为交通工具（在美国没有赠金的车，可想他们的节俭程度）。两人膝下无子女，在20世纪60年代把总共5万美元的积蓄交给了一位投资界管理。老教授同太太于1997年前后相继去世。过世后，律师清算他们的遗产，包括那位投资家管理的5万美元的投资，竟然发现他们当初的投资已累积到8亿美元。这笔遗产根据欧斯默夫妇遗嘱全部捐献给布鲁克林工业大学，金额相当于这所学校建立以来全部捐献的4倍。
那么，帮他们创造了这笔财富的那位投资家又是谁了？
这个人就是沃伦·巴菲特。巴菲特被称为证券界的天王，在比尔·盖茨因微软增值而成为全球首富之前，他多年来一直雄踞这个宝座。他是一个全球知名的投资专家，一个极善于累积财富的人。巴菲特将欧斯默的5万美元进行投资，投资于巴菲特旗下的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司。当时的股价为每股42美元，而老夫妇死后清理遗产是，每股股价已达77200美元。你一定对这个数字感到很惊讶，但是，请相信你的眼睛，我没写错，这只股票在2011年2月28日最高达到131463美元。
这就是那笔8亿美元天文数字遗产的由来。
