At the University of Nebraska, Buffett read Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor, which sparked his interest in investing.
Warren later on graduated with a Master's degree in economics in 1951 at Columbia Business School, studying under Benjamin Graham and alongside many other future valued investors.
