Warren Buffett Compounding Rate: The talk about an investment or compound returns can’t be completed without mention of Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha. The legendary US investor stepped down from the CEO post of Berkshire Hathaway last week. Buffett is continuing as chairman of the company, while Greg Abel took over as CEO. Buffett has the unique distinction of amassing 99 per cent of his wealth after turning 60 years old. He is 94 now with an estimated wealth of over $168 billion.
The power of compounding has played a key role in growing his wealth.
The estimated annualised rate of return through which his wealth has increased over the years is 22 per cent.
It means at that estimated rate, his wealth has grown exponentially in the last 34 years.
