Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. — Warren Buffett | Printable Wall Art

“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”

Words by Warren Buffett (1930-) — Investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.

About this quote

This line neatly distinguishes between financial cost and true worth. Price is simply the amount of money handed over in a transaction, whereas value represents the enduring quality, utility, or benefit gained. Buffett reminds us to look beyond immediate expense and focus on long-term worth, whether we are investing capital, spending time, or choosing what to bring into our lives.

Warren Buffett popularised this phrase in his 2008 Berkshire Hathaway chairman's letter to shareholders. In the letter, he credited his mentor, the value-investing pioneer Benjamin Graham, for teaching him this fundamental distinction.

People often hang this print in a home office or study as a daily reminder to measure true worth.
