Few, if any, investors are more revered on Wall Street than Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. The reason can be seen in the Oracle of Omaha's returns since taking the reins in the mid-1960s.

The broad-based S 500 took until last year to top a cumulative 30,000% total return, including dividends. However, since Buffett became CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, the Oracle of Omaha has overseen a greater than 4,700,000% aggregate return in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) in under six decades (as of the close on Jan. 26, 2024). Returns like this are bound to draw a following from both professional and everyday investors.
