Since becoming the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) in 1965, Warren Buffett has masterfully steered the ship. Whereas the benchmark S 500 hasn't quite reached a 30,000% total return, including dividends paid, since Buffett became CEO, he's overseen a 4,544,578% aggregate gain in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A), as of the closing bell on Sept. 19, 2023.

Although Buffett isn't infallible, he has a knack for picking far more winners than losers. It's why professional and everyday investors closely track the Oracle of Omaha's buying and selling activity via quarterly 13F filings. Riding Buffett's coattails has been a wildly profitable strategy for more than a half-century.
