Alice Schroeder is an American author and former insurance analyst best known for The Snowball, the authorized and definitive biography of investor Warren Buffett.
Alice Schroeder worked as an insurance industry analyst, where her sharp analysis of Berkshire Hathaway drew the attention of Warren Buffett himself. He granted her unprecedented access to write his life story.
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life (2008) is the result — a sweeping, intimate, and authorized biography that draws on extensive interviews with Buffett, his family, and associates. It offers a detailed portrait of both the investing genius and the complex private man, and is regarded as the definitive Buffett biography.
Schroeder combines financial expertise with narrative skill, and The Snowball remains essential reading for anyone interested in Buffett, investing, or the building of one of history’s great fortunes.
