Outgoing CEO Warren Buffett’s investment strategy continues to yield significant gains, with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK) stocks trading near record highs despite market volatility.
Buffett’s investment strategy has resulted in a 17% year-to-date rally for Berkshire Hathaway last week, a stark contrast to the S&P 500’s 5% decline.
The 94-year-old billionaire investor has consistently championed long-term, fundamentals-based investing. His successful investment decisions, such as a perfectly timed massive investment in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in 2016, which has since soared over 800%, have significantly increased his wealth.
According to a data by Bloomberg, Buffett is currently the sixth richest person in the world, with a net worth of $166 billion.
Other successful investments include long-held stocks like Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:KO), which has risen about 15% this year, and Verisign Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN), an internet stock that has soared 35% year-to-date.
