In response to the original question - if you want to know the shortest people online, see who works out in the gym the most. Body building is a rational response to diminuitive stature. Increased musculature is one way to compensate for being otherwise physically uninpressive.

Your theory makes sense if you add ambition to your formula.

Short and unambitious guy = Spends his days at the gym to compensate

Short and ambitious guy = Spends his days making $$$ to compensate

Warren Buffett (although he isn’t considered short) admitted in his biography that he stopped going to the gym because he knew he couldn’t be the best at it. Being the best at his craft was important to him because that was his way to attract members of the opposite sex as he didn’t possess the traits that was attractive to women.

which dimes did he attract?

Read Snowball.

so i assume buffett bagged a lot of dimes?

[former_trader]

I wouldn’t say a lot, but he had more than 1 at a time.

[igor555]

did he negotiate a good price first?

[former_trader]

A decent margin of safety.
