Warren Buffet's Religious Affiliation and Economic / Social Principles

Almost half of the billionaires in the USA are Jews. But Warren Buffet, the world's second richest man, is strictly not a Jew (religion).  He claims to be agnostic though he has many Jewish friends and business associates and has invested in Israeli companies.

Unlike many influential Jews in Hollywood who had manipulated the media to condemn countries which could challenge Israel and US dominance in the Middle East and Africa, Buffet has been neutral and pragmatic.

On the contrary, Buffet has demonstrated lots of strategic patience (as opposed to rash reaction) and generosity towards social equality and redistribution of wealth.

Not one to flaunt his wealth, Buffet continues to live in the same five bedroom house in Ohama, Nebraska, for many year although he has more recently invested in a Californian beach house for chill out.

Buffet may be too old to learn foreign languages, but his friendly gesture on the eve of the Lunar New Year is well received by Chinese and Asian audiences. The guru's next investment destination?

China is no stranger to Buffett. He is venerated among China's wealthy as a "model investor," according to the AFP. Likewise, Buffett is no stranger to China—he's been positive about the country's growth in the past and has a nearly 10% investment in Chinese auto company BYD.
