Meet the Top Investors of the 21st Century

Business has never been easy for most of us. We find numerous businesses which fall apart because of poor management. However, there are still some successful businessmen who worked their way to be successful. Here are some names which show the proof that anyone can be successful, with just the right amount of effort.

Warren Buffet 

The first name on the list is Warren Buffet. The Oracle of Omaha, as he is often called, placed his name in a pedestal when he became one of the richest men in the world for quite sometime. A prolific businessman, he was one of the few wealthiest people who actually rose up to the top chiefly because of his investments. He also believes that one should avoid investing in companies which have debts.

Peter Lynch 

The second name on the list is Peter Lynch. He is probably the most popular manager when it comes to mutual funds. Managing the Fidelity Magellan Fund sometime in the 1970's, he only started it with about twenty million dollars. This amount eventually multiplied as much as fifty billion assets in our time.

Benjamin Graham 

The third name on the list is Benjamin Graham. He is relatively more senior than the aforementioned successful investors. Known as the father of value investing, he conceptualized some of the essential and relevant principles which are used by Lynch and Buffet in their companies. He believes in looking for the so-called 'margin of safety' when investing, which involves analyzing how much a stock is selling below its inherent value.
