Warren Buffett Net Worth in 2026
#12 in the World · Berkshire Hathaway
How the $104.57B Breaks Down
He holds an estimated 208,000,000 shares of BRK-B worth $102.57B at the current price — about 98% of his total net worth.
The remaining $2.00B is a static estimate for privately-held assets, cash, and other holdings that don't have a live public price — this portion doesn't move minute-to-minute like the BRK-B stake does.
