Warren Buffett has seen a major boost to his net worth this year, climbing by $12 billion to hit a total of $155 billion, as of April 2025.
The legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway boss was the only one among the world’s ten richest people to see his fortune grow in the past month.
A $5 billion surge in his wealth since March was enough to place him at 5 on the global rich list. Shares in his investment giant Berkshire Hathaway rose around 3% over the last month, lifting his estimated fortune to nearly $166 billion at one point.
In stark contrast, tech billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg reported a drastic drop of $130 billion, $ 45 billion and $28 billion respectively.
LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault also reported a loss of $18 billion while Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates lost $3 billion of his wealth.
Buffett, 94, often called the “Oracle of Omaha,” is known for his long-term, disciplined approach to investing. Under his leadership, Berkshire Hathaway owns a wide mix of businesses, including Geico, Duracell, and Dairy Queen.
Buffett’s rise isn’t just about wealth, it’s also about giving it away. A vocal advocate for philanthropy , he has pledged to donate more than 99 per cent of his fortune and has already given away $62 billion, much of it through the Gates Foundation and the foundations run by his children.
In 2010, Buffett and Bill Gates launched the Giving Pledge, urging fellow billionaires to commit at least half of their fortunes to charitable causes.
From buying his first stock at age 11 to shaping global markets in his 90s, Buffett’s story continues to be one of remarkable patience, consistency, and purpose.
