One is a net worth and one is an annual salary. I doubt Buffet is pocketing $120 Billion annually.
You really want to go there?
Here’s Warren Buffett’s estimated **net worth per decade**, starting in **1955**. Keep in mind, early figures are rough estimates based on historical accounts and Buffett's own writings or interviews.
Warren Buffett Net Worth by Decade:
| Year | Estimated Net Worth | Notes |
|------|----------------------|-------|
| **1955** | ~$100,000 | He was 25 and had formed Buffett Partnership Ltd. a year earlier. |
| **1965** | ~$7 million | Managed multiple partnerships; acquired control of Berkshire Hathaway. |
| **1975** | ~$100 million | Berkshire’s investments (like See’s Candies and Washington Post) took off. |
| **1985** | ~$1.4 billion | Became a billionaire in 1986. |
| **1995** | ~$17 billion | Berkshire stock grew massively during the '80s and '90s. |
| **2005** | ~$44 billion | He had already begun planning his giving pledge. |
| **2015** | ~$67 billion | Continued wealth accumulation despite major philanthropy. |
| **2025** | ~$130 billion (est.) | As of 2024, his net worth is around **$134 billion** (per Forbes). |
25 Million for him is less than $20 for us especially if he can use it as a write off
