Known as the "Oracle of Omaha," Warren
Buffett is one of the most successful
investors of all time. He runs investing
conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, which
owns dozens of companies, including insurer
Geico, battery maker Duracell and restaurant
chain Dairy Queen. The son of a U.S.
congressman, he first bought stock at age 11
and first filed taxes at age 13.
Buffett created the Giving Pledge with Bill
Gates and Melinda French Gates in 2010,
asking billionaires to commit to give away at
least half their fortune to charitable groups.
Buffett has said he would donate 99% of his
fortune. So far he’s give $59.3 billion of
Berkshire Hathaway stock to the Gates
Foundation and foundations run by his
children and one started by his late first wife.
That includes $5.3 billion in June, which
helped knock him down in the ranks to No.
10
in early July for the first time in years. But
since then, shares of Berkshire Hathaway
have ticked up. Buffett moved from No. 7 on
August 1 to a current No. 6 richest in the
world. His fortune fattened by $11.6 billion in
the past month as Berkshire Hathaway A
shares climbed 8.5%.
