Albert Ueltschi Net Worth

Albert Ueltschi was born in United States. Albert Ueltschi developed a passion for flight after hearing a radio broadcast of Charles Lindbergh's 1927 transatlantic flight. He subsequently opened a hamburger stand named "Little Hawk" to raise money for flying lessons. At age 16 he was making solo flights. He later dropped out of the University of Kentucky to give flying lessons and barnstorm around the country before eventually becoming a pilot for Pan Am. In 1951, Ueltschi founded the aviation training company FlightSafety International. He took the company public in 1968 and sold it to fellow billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway for $1.5 billion in stock in 1996. He still maintains his holding in the firm, honoring his pledge to Buffett that he would do so indefinitely. Ueltschi is also the Chairman Emeritus of Orbis International, one of the largest blindness charities in the world. Along with his son, James, Ueltschi co-founded HelpMeSee, an organization with two missions: to directly fund surgeons who perform low-cost lens replacement surgery for blind individuals in developing countries and to train 30,000 cataract specialists in Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery.
