Behind every billionaire there is a story!

Authorized Warren Buffett biography due September 29

The long-awaited authorized biography of billionaire investor Warren Buffett, the first written with his cooperation, is scheduled for release on September 29, the publisher said on Monday. The 976-page book is being written by former Morgan Stanley insurance analyst Alice Schroeder, and is titled “The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life,” publisher Bantam Dell Publishing Group said.

Schroeder first met Buffett while working as an analyst, and covered Buffett’s insurance and investment company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

According to the publisher, Schroeder has spent “thousands of hours” with Buffett, talking about his life and career, and winning broad access to his files and friends.

The book had been scheduled for a May release in conjunction with Berkshire’s annual shareholder meeting, but was delayed.
