Warren Buffett
Famous investor Warren Buffett once said, “When others are greedy, be afraid. And when others are afraid, be greedy.” He has proven this advice true once again.
While most investors are losing money due to the stock market decline in 2025, Buffett is making the most profit. According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, his wealth has increased by $22.3 billion this year, bringing his total net worth to $164 billion. He is now the sixth richest person in the world.
Stock Markets Struggle, But Buffett Wins
The year 2025 has been tough for the global economy. Many stock markets, including the Dow Jones, Japan’s Nikkei, Korea’s Kospi, and India’s Sensex and Nifty, have fallen. Economic and political issues, including U.S. President Donald Trump’s new tariffs, have made things worse.
However, while others faced losses, Buffett continued to grow his fortune.
How Did Buffett’s Wealth Increase?
Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, has seen its stock price rise by over 16% this year. In contrast, the Nasdaq Composite has dropped by about 8%.
Last year, Berkshire sold billions of dollars worth of Apple and Bank of America shares. Now, the company holds a record $325 billion in cash, which is more than the combined reserves of major tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Nvidia.
Buffett’s smart investment strategy has helped him become the highest-earning billionaire of 2025 so far.
Warren Buffett assured shareholders that Berkshire Hathaway will always invest a large portion of its money in stocks, mostly in American companies. However, many of these companies also have major international operations.
Berkshire Increases Stake in Japanese Companies
According to regulatory filings, when the U.S. stock market faced a downturn, Berkshire quietly increased its stake in five major Japanese business groups. Berkshire started investing in these companies six years ago because Buffett believes they operate successfully in a similar way to Berkshire.
As per a report by Reuters, Berkshire’s stake in Mitsui & Co. increased from 8.09% to 9.82%. It also raised its investments in Mitsubishi Corp., Sumitomo Corp., Itochu, and Marubeni by a few percentage points.
