What is the publicized formula for success?

Generally something along the lines of 'work hard, work smart, be persistent.'

Why is Warren Buffet the only one with his level of investment success?

No one knows; that's the point of the article. It could be pure chance. Put 1000 people in a room and have them each flip a coin for double or nothing, and in the end you will likely have a person who has made 1000x their original investment. Should we laud the winner's coin-flipping ability?
