Entrepreneur/Tesla CEO Elon Musk and investor/Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett are two of the wealthiest human beings on Earth. Musk is the richest person on the planet with a net worth of more than $400 billion, and Buffett is currently ranked in the top 10 with a net worth hovering around $150 million, according to Forbes. Both men have weathered economic tumult and bad investments, and have still managed to amass more wealth than the rest of the planet.
While Buffett and Musk have both achieved monumental success, they have done so with radically different styles, attitudes and personalities. Musk has a tendency toward risk and bluster; Buffet has a more measured persona and bases his decisions upon care and research. In an era of such economic uncertainty as this one, why is Buffett better suited to weather the market upheavals of the day?
