"If you're lucky in life, make sure that a bunch of other people are lucky, too." – Warren BuffettIn the fourth-floor lunchroom of the National Indemnity Company building in Omaha, Nebraska, a hand-lettered sign once hung on closed double doors: "Meeting in Progress." Inside, beside vending machines and a coffee maker, Warren Buffett called to order the annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, with approximately 20 attendees present.

Most were friends, family, and early investors who had placed their trust in a young Warren Buffett, well before he became a household name in finance.The Growth YearsAs Berkshire's portfolio and prestige grew through the 1980s, so did the annual meeting
