  2. Howard Anglin (@howardanglin): "Buffet has commissioned no plays, no poems, no symphonies, no operas, no ballets; funded no paintings or sculptures that will outlive him; endowed no theatres, choirs, or orchestras; built no monuments, great homes, museums, churches, monasteries, chantries, baptistries, almshouses, or civic buildings that future generations will marvel at and enjoy.*

    He has added less to the common stock of civilisation than any man as wealthy before him.
