?? Berkshire Hathaway shares hit new record high
?? Buffett’s fortune continues to rise
?? Developments push Buffett further up in top 10 world billionaires
Warren Buffett, investment legend and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, recently ranked the eighth richest billionaire in the world on the Bloomberg Index. Buffett is considered one of the most successful investors and can call his own fortune a proud 116 billion US dollars.
Top 10 billionaires
In early January, he overtook former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who has a fortune of around $113 billion, in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In front of Buffett are greats like Tesla boss Elon Musk in first place with 272 billion US dollars, directly behind Amazon founder Jeff Bezos with 191 billion US dollars or Microsoft founder Bill Gates in fourth place with a fortune of about $134 billion. In seventh place, directly ahead of Buffett, is Sergey Brin, who helped develop Alphabet subsidiary Google. He has a net worth of around $120 billion.
Berkshire Hathaway shares hit new record high
Warren Buffett is about $7 billion richer since the beginning of the year. This is due to the recent surge in Berkshire Hathaway A shares. These hit a new all-time high of $483,800 on the NYSE on January 10 this year. As 2022 begins, investors favor value stocks, Benzinga explains, and Berkshire Hathaway is considered one of the best value stocks around.
The stock market value of Berkshire Hathaway thus exceeded the 700 billion US dollar mark for the first time in the first week of January and is therefore well on the way to joining the league of trillion companies, just like Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple.
