About

Howard Graham Buffett, born on December 16, 1954, carries forward the family legacy as a corporate board member of Berkshire Hathaway. Howard Graham Buffett, the grandson of Howard Homan Buffett and the son of Warren Buffett, has made significant contributions in business and philanthropy.

As a director/board member at Berkshire Hathaway, Howard Graham Buffett continues the family’s association with the conglomerate. His diverse roles, including his presidency at the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and active involvement in various sectors, reflect the family’s commitment to ethical governance and social impact.

The Buffett legacy, spanning three generations, encapsulates principles of ethical governance, sound financial practices, and a profound dedication to human liberty and philanthropy. From Howard Homan Buffett’s early political career to Warren Buffett’s global influence in finance and Howard Graham Buffett’s contemporary contributions, the Buffetts have left an indelible mark on the business and political landscapes.

After graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1925, Howard Buffett embarked on a diverse career. He married Leila Stahl on December 27, 1925, and their union resulted in three children: Warren Buffett, Peter Buffett, and Howard Graham Buffett. Howard Homan Buffett’s early career saw him establish a small stock brokerage firm after facing challenges securing a position in the family grocery business.

 

Buffett’s entry into politics commenced in 1939 when he served on the Omaha board of education. In 1942, he successfully ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Nebraska. His principled stance and dedication to human liberty defined his political philosophy. Unshakably ethical, he refused additional salary when the congressional salary was raised, emphasizing his commitment to public service.

A staunch non-interventionist, Howard Buffett opposed the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, and was a vocal critic of military interventionism. His unwavering dedication to individual freedom extended to an impassioned plea for the abolition of the draft in 1962. Additionally, he strongly supported the gold standard to limit government inflation and overspending.

Howard Homan Buffett’s legacy transcends politics, influencing the principles and values embraced by his descendants. His publications, including “Human Freedom Rests on Gold Redeemable Money,” reflect his commitment to sound monetary policies and non-interventionist principles.
