Warren Buffett: Delivered Papers For Penny

Posted by admin on Tuesday, September 4, 2018

Warren Buffett Money Quote saying he was a newspaper carrier as a kid and delivered about a half-million papers in Omaha. Warren Buffett said:
 

 

“I delivered about 500,000 papers, and I made about a penny each. So it was about $5,000 I made” — Warren Buffett

 

 

In this quote, Warren Buffett is recalling his experience delivering newspapers as a child. He estimates that he delivered around 500,000 newspapers total. For each paper he delivered, he was paid about one penny.

So by delivering around 500,000 papers at a penny each, he estimates he earned a total of around $5,000 from his newspaper delivery work as a kid. The quote suggests Buffett had an entrepreneurial spirit even at a young age, as he worked to earn money delivering newspapers on a large scale.
