There are plenty of successful money managers, but few can hold a candle to what Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett has brought to the table for his company's long-term shareholders. Since taking the reins almost six decades ago, Buffett has delivered an annualized return on his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) of nearly 20%. On an aggregate basis, we're talking about gains of better than 4,400,000%.
