“There are few people out there who feel like finishing a strong second place is not satisfactory. To those who think that first place is all that counts, you’re probably not the second richest man in the world! Most people won’t even get the opportunity to see such a massive amount of money in their lifetime, much less meet someone who does.”

Twenty-seven lucky students from the University of Akron’s College of Business Administration, however, have already recieved just that opportunity.

You might say that Warren Buffet was being generous, giving students a chance to hold a question and answer session with him out in Omaha, Neb. but when you pledge more than 99 percent of your money to charity, a word like generous is not enough to describe him.

He’s a great role model, Academic Director for the Fitzgerald Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies Todd Finkle said.

Of course he is!

There’s not a single person on the face of the earth that wouldn’t want to be wearing his finely polished shoes!

The only thing that would’ve been more awesome than meeting the second richest person in the world is if he wrote you a check.

You’d think he could’ve at least shelled out the cost to fly the students to Omaha, though.

At the very least, let’s hope he paid for their lunch.
