Warren Buffett\u2019s fortune reached $100 billion on Wednesday, as investors drove the stock price for his company Berkshire Hathaway to a record level.<\/p>\n

Buffett\u2019s net worth, as measured by Forbes magazine, comes almost entirely from owning about one-sixth of Berkshire, a roughly $600 billion company.<\/p>\n

Berkshire\u2019s stock price has surged higher in March, with its Class A shares surpassing $400,000 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

That came after the Omaha, Nebraska-based company on Feb. 27 said fourth-quarter operating results improved despite the coronavirus pandemic, while gains in App<\/a>le and other stocks fueled a $35.8 billion overall profit.<\/p>\n

The 90-year-old Buffett\u2019s net worth would be higher had he not in 2006 begun donating his Berkshire shares to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and four family charities.<\/p>\n

Buffett had previously owned nearly one-third of Berkshire, and his donations totaled more than $37 billion when they were made.<\/p>\n

Berkshire was a failing textile company when Buffett took control in 1965. It now owns more than 90 businesses such as the Geico car insurer and BNSF railroad, and ended last year with $281.2 billion of stocks.<\/p>\n

One of the world\u2019s most celebrated investors, Buffett was once the world\u2019s richest person but has been bypassed by several executives whose companies\u2019 stock prices have risen faster.<\/p>\n

Before this year, Berkshire\u2019s stock had trailed the Standard & Poor\u2019s 500 including dividends over the prior decade.<\/p>\n

The stock has outperformed in 2021, and some analysts raised their price targets this month.<\/p>\n

Forbes said Buffett ranks fifth on its list of the world\u2019s richest people, after Amazon\u2019s Jeff Bezos, Tesla\u2019s Elon Musk, LVMH Moet Hennessy\u2019s Bernard Arnault and his family, and the philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
