      If I had had $1.2M to invest at the age of 40 I wouldn’t make it to 41.

      What now? Can he truly “enjoy” this windfall?

      Seems better suited to philanthropic efforts.

      What percentage of his net worth at 40 was the $1.2M?

      Also, investing $1.2M in Apple or Amazon at IPO would have had a much higher return.

      Math not mathin. If he was 40 in 1986 when he made this purchase he’d be 79 not 95.

      Nearly 98% of Warren Buffett’s wealth was accumulated after he turned 65 years old, primarily due to the power of compound interest.
