Known as the “Oracle of Omaha,” Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors of all time.
He bought his first stock at 11 and filed his first tax return at 13, later transforming Berkshire Hathaway into a global business empire spanning dozens of companies. After stepping down as CEO at the end of 2025, Buffett remains chairman.
Buffett has pledged to donate more than 99% of his fortune and has given away more than $68 billion so far. In 2010, he and Bill Gates launched the Giving Pledge to encourage billionaire philanthropy.
With a net worth of $143.1 billion, Buffett ranked No. 11 on the Forbes Real Time Billionaires List as of August 17, 2026.
