- Berkshire Hathaway CEO and chairman Warren Buffett’s net worth is an estimated $146 billion.
- He’s the world’s 10th-richest person, per Bloomberg, above Sergey Brin and the Walton siblings.
- Buffett is known for living modestly and being one of the world’s most generous philanthropists.
Warren Buffett is having a good year — his fortune has ballooned by around $26 billion.
With an estimated net worth of $146 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the 94-year-old Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO is the 10th-wealthiest person in the world. He’s almost $20 billion richer than Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and worth considerably more than Michael Dell and any of the three Walton heirs, for example.
Looking at Buffett’s frugal ways, though, you might not know it.
Still living in the house he bought in the 1950s and driving an equally modest car, the “Oracle of Omaha” prefers to keep and grow his money rather than take it out of the bank. He often eats breakfast from McDonald’s and borrowed furniture when his children were born.
See how Buffett spends — or doesn’t spend — his billions.
