Here's How Much Dividend Income Warren Buffett Will Receive in 2020

Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett is arguably the greatest investor of our time. Since the beginning of 1965, Buffett's conglomerate has delivered a compound annual gain of 20.3% in terms of its per-share market value. That compares with 10% on the nose for the broad-based S&P 500 (and that's with dividends included) over the same period. It may not sound like a hug gap, but the overall gain between Berkshire Hathaway and the S&P 500 since the beginning of 1965 isn't even close: 2,744,062% versus 19,784%.

Obviously, one of the keys to Buffett's success in picking winning stocks has been his desire to hold companies for long periods of time. Letting his winners run has allowed his wealth to compound many times over in the latter years of his life.

But an oft-overlooked reason Buffett has done so well is that he's focused his attention on buying high-quality dividend stocks.
