Charles Munger
I am a fan of Warren Buffett, despite his awful views on political science.
Buffett's business partner is the lesser-known Charles Munger. He has better political views than Buffett. However, like Buffett, he is a very steady, rational and thoughtful person. Here is a long (1;45 hrs) video of Munger giving a talk at Caltech, for anyone who is curious as to what it might take to be one of the richest men in the world.

A little scattered, I think some essentials nevertheless made it through: Munger cultivates common sense and the "easy" way, at least concerning investing. It's really weird how it doesn't carry over into other areas. Though he championed a general life self-education, he still didn't seem to know much about good politics; he contradicted himself by denouncing communism, yet supporting investment regulations.
I think his self-reliance, or bucking the accepted, and self-motivation are important to his success.

Yes, unfortunately, like many smart people, Munger accepts an altruistic view of ethics and a government that is mildly based on that. Buffett goes a little further.
I think you're right about self-reliance. Both he and Buffett simply do not get caught up in fads.
