Between 1964 and 2024, Warren Buffett, famed investor, philanthropist, and Chairman/CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, increased Berkshire Hathaway’s per-share value by a impressive 5,502,284%, according to company documents, averaging 19.9% a year growth — an impressive annual rate compared to an average of just 10.4% a year for the S&P 500.

Buffett’s greatest investing attributes were his patience and discipline. He avoided trying to predict equity market trends or following the horde, and instead took the long- term view by identifying quality businesses with strong financial fundamentals.

According to Forbes, as of September 2025, Warren Buffett has a net worth of $146.6 billion. This makes him the tenth-richest person on Earth.

Buffett’s success at Berkshire Hathaway comes from investing in a small number of quality stocks, typically dividend payers, that provide a regular stream of income in addition to capital appreciation.

Buffett’s investment research focused heavily on weighing a stock’s current market price against its intrinsic value and then buying undervalued or “bargain” stocks that had strong fundamentals and the potential for future growth. This is a core tenet of value investing.
