When it comes to investing greats, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett is in a class of his own. Since taking over in 1965, he's overseen a greater than 4,100,000% return in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A). For the sake of comparison, the broad-based S 500 has yet to achieve a 30,000% total return, including dividends, in the 58 years the Oracle of Omaha has been CEO.
