What it's like to work for Warren Buffett

mardi 1 juillet 2014

2. Warren Buffett, 81 Company: Berkshire Hathaway Net worth: $44.7 billion 2011 compensation: $491,925 As chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett is the world’s second-richest CEO and the world’s third-richest man. His company’s holdings include American Express, Coca-Cola, Costco, and Moody’s. Buffett’s early job as a paperboy in Omaha, Nebraska in the 1940s helped him earn the $5,000 and launched him into the world of value investing and eventually led to the creation of the Berkshire investment empire. The estimated value of Buffett’s class-A shares in Berkshire Hathaway is about $42.6 billion, while his class-B shares are worth $2.1 billion, according to Wealth-X. Buffett’s Laguna Beach, California home is estimated to be worth $2.7 million but he’s renowned for living in the same house that he bought in Ohama in 1958. Despite accumulating immense wealth, Buffett pledged in 2006 to gradually give away all of his company stock to philanthropic foundations. In all, he will give away more than 99 percent of his wealth. Buffett called last August for the U.S government to “stop coddling” the super-rich and increase their taxes. The move led U.S. President Barrack Obama to propose legislation of a minimum tax rate of 30 percent on those who earn $1 million or more a year, known as the “Buffett tax”. Buffet, however, came under fire in March after it was revealed that NetJets, a private jet-sharing company owned by Berkshire Hathaway, was sued for $336.3 million by the U.S. government for unpaid taxes.
