The auction of a high-tech portrait of Warren Buffett didn't come close to matching the $19 million someone paid earlier this year for a private lunch with the billionaire, but it still raised $75,100 for one of his favorite charities.
The eBay auction wrapped up Tuesday evening on Buffett's 92nd birthday. The portrait created by Motiva Art features a grid of letters over the picture that light up to spell out 11 of the Berkshire Hathaway CEO's best-known quotes including, "It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who has been swimming naked."
A previous portrait of Buffett painted by performance artist Michael Israel in 10 minutes outside the Berkshire annual meeting attracted a $100,000 price in 2008.
The lunch auction Buffett has done for years to benefit the Glide Foundation that helps the homeless in San Francisco always attracts big bids because it offers exclusive access to the investor who is willing to answer almost any question except what he might buy next.

Warren Buffett's company received clearance to boost its 20% stake in Occidental Petroleum to as much as 50%, but it's not immediately clear how many more shares Berkshire Hathaway plans to buy or whether it will consider buying the entire company.
Shares of the of the oil producer soared nearly 12% Friday after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission revealed that it had approved Berkshire's request to buy up to 50% of the Houston company.
Shares slid 4% to around $69 amid a broader sell-off Monday and as speculation cooled over the potential for Berkshire to buy the entire company.
Berkshire doesn't typically comment on its stock investments beyond what it is required to disclose, and Buffett didn't respond to questions about Occidental on Monday.
But Buffett told shareholders at the company's annual meeting in April that he started buying Occidental shares in late February because what the CEO was telling investors then made nothing but sense to him.

<div>
	Early years and education</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Born in Omaha, US, in 1930, Buffet developed an interest in the business world and started investing at an early age, including in the stock market. His father, Howard, was a stockbroker with his own brokerage firm, and his mother Leila was a housewife. Buffett had two sisters, one older than him and one younger. At eleven years old, he purchased three shares of Cities Service Preferred at $38 per share for both himself and his older sister. But, the stock fell to just over $27 a share. A resilient Warren held his shares until they rebounded to $40.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Buffet started his education at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania before moving back to go to the University of Nebraska, where he received an undergraduate degree in business administration. After graduation, Buffett wanted to go to Harvard Business School, but got rejected for being &quot;too young&quot;. Instead, he went to the Columbia Business School, where he earned his graduation in economics.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Ben Graham, an investor who was teaching at Columbia had a great influence on Buffett. Buffett learnt about the fundamentals of investing in Graham&rsquo;s classes. Through his simple yet profound investment principles, Graham became an idyllic figure to the twenty-one-year-old Warren Buffett.</div>

	Buffet&#39;s investments</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	In the initial days of his career, Buffet worked at his father&#39;s brokerage firm. His career as an investment salesperson in the early 1950s was not successful. In 1956, he formed the Buffet Partnership. Seven family members and friends invested $105,000 in total, with Buffett investing only $100 himself. By the end of the year, he was managing around $300,000.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Warren Buffett started buying stocks in Berkshire Hathaway in 1962, when it was mainly run as a textiles company. He realised there was not so much profit in it and started to phase it out. He started investing in insurance companies instead. Less than 10 years later, in 1965, he was in control of Berkshire Hathaway. In 1970, Buffett named himself as the company&rsquo;s chairman and wrote his first letter to the shareholders. These letters from Buffett would later become very famous and a subject of study for many investors around the world. Berkshire later acquired several companies, including See&rsquo;s Candy and GEICO. Berkshire managed to own a 7 per cent share in Coca-Cola, which was worth over $1 billion. Buffett became a billionaire in 1990. In the early to late 2000s, Buffet invested heavily in big banks.</div>

	Philanthropic work</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Since the year 2000, Buffett has donated more than $46 billion, becoming the most charitable billionaire. In June 2006, Buffett announced his plans to donate his entire fortune to charity. Then, in 2010, Buffett and Bill Gates launched &lsquo;The Giving Pledge campaign&rsquo; to encourage other wealthy individuals to pursue philanthropy.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Investment philosophy</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Buffet&#39;s investment philosophy revolves around how a company works. He looks for securities whose prices are unjustifiably low based on their intrinsic worth. Rather than focus supply and demand intricacies of the stock market, Buffett is known to look at companies as a whole. Some of the factors Buffett is believed to consider are company performance, company debt, and profit margins. Other considerations for value investors like Buffett include whether companies are public, how reliant they are on commodities, and how cheap they are. Buffet&#39;s vision to avoid the hype, and stick around companies with his long-term approach gives him his edge.</div>
