Warren Buffett Shows How Patience Pays: 98% Of His $160 Billion Wealth Came After Turning 65, Thanks The Power Of 'Compound Interest'

Wall Street opened Tuesday with cautious gains after inflation data for April came in cooler than expected, calming investor concerns over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45374267/inflation-eases-in-april-as-trumps-tariffs-dont-push-prices-higher">tariff-driven price spikes. </a>
April's inflation report showed consumer prices rising 2.3% year over year, slightly below the 2.4% forecast and down from the previous month's reading of 2.4%. On a monthly basis, prices increased 0.2%, rebounding from March's 0.1% decline but missing expectations of a 0.3% gain.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, held steady at 2.8% annually—matching both March&#8217;s figure and economists' forecasts. Month over month, core prices rose 0.2%, a modest acceleration from March's 0.1% increase but still softer than the expected 0.3%.
Shelter remained a major contributor to inflation, rising 0.3% in April and accounting for over half of the monthly increase in the overall Consumer Price Index. Meanwhile, several categories posted price declines, including airline fares, used cars and trucks, communication services and apparel.
Despite inflation coming in below forecasts, expectations for interest rate cuts held steady. Traders still see just an 8% chance of a cut in June, rising to 38% for July. Markets continue to price in a total of 60 basis points in rate reductions by year-end, well below the almost 75 basis points priced a week ago.
The Nasdaq 100 led major benchmarks, rising 0.37% and on track to open at its highest level in 10 weeks.

Shares of banks and financial services stocks are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate macro uncertainty in the lending and deal environment.

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In American Express 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Nancy Pelosi&#8216;s investments over 11 years have outperformed the &#8216;Oracle of Omaha&#8217;, Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), with gains that are more than double the latter&#8217;s performance.
What Happened: According to the data <a href="https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy%20Pelosi-P000197">from</a> Quiver Quantitative, Pelosi&#8217;s investments have fetched her gains of 692.75% since May 16, 2014.
This is an aggregate of the sales and purchases made by her over the 11 years. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, has returned just 197.16% in the same period.
Meanwhile, Buffett&#8217;s holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, which is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, has advanced 303.85% from $126.86 per share as of May 16, 2014, to $512.33 apiece as of May 6, 2025.
Buffett is known to be one of the best portfolio managers of all time. Berkshire holds major investments in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>).
BRK has returned 13.57% this year so far, while SPY is down 4.42%. This, as Berkshire is sitting on a cashpile worth $348 billion as of the first quarter of 2025.
However, Benzinga&#8217;s Government Trades Tracker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/nancy-pelosi">shows</a> that Pelosi has performed below the market over the past 12 months, losing -7.40% on average.

Why It Matters: The top stocks in Pelosi&#8217;s portfolio with investments of around $250,000 to $500,000 include Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)
Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) are also part of Pelosi&#8217;s portfolio.
During the premarket hours on Wednesday, SPY was 0.66% higher, whereas Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), tracking the Nasdaq 100, was up 0.68%.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings shows that BRK-B had a strong price trend over the medium and long term but a weaker trend over the short term. Its momentum ranking was solid at 87.25th percentile, whereas its value ranking was also good at 71.33th percentile; the details of other metrics are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">available here</a>.

Together, the top 10 stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway represent 80.4% of the portfolio. Berkshire Hathaway owns stakes of 6% or more in each of the 10 companies, other than Apple. Berkshire owns around 2% of Apple.
Many of these stocks have been long-time holdings of Berkshire Hathaway added decades ago. Others, like Apple, have been added to the portfolio as Buffett's opinion on a stock or sector change.

Berkshire Hathaway Performance: Shares of Berkshire Hathaway hit new all-time highs on Friday ahead of the annual shareholders meeting, where Buffett surprised the crowd with his stepping down announcement.
On Monday, Berkshire Hathaway stock fell over 5% as investors grasped what the company could look like without Buffett and with the company reporting lower operating profit year-over-year.
Year-to-date, Berkshire Hathaway stock is up 13.2%, outperforming the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which is down 3.4%. Berkshire Hathaway has also outperformed the S&amp;P 500 ETF over the one-year and five-year periods.
Here's a look at the year-to-date performance of the top 10 Berkshire Hathaway holdings:
<ol>
<li>Apple: -18.2%</li>
<li>American Express: -6.5%</li>
<li>Coca-Cola Co: +15.8%</li>
<li>Bank of America: -6.8%</li>
<li>Chevron Corp: -7.7%</li>
<li>Moody's Corp: -1.7%</li>
<li>Occidental Petroleum: -21.7%</li>
<li>Kraft Heinz: -7.4%</li>
<li>Chubb Ltd: +5.7%</li>
<li>Itochu: -9.7%</li>
</ol>
Of the top 10 holdings, only two are positive year-to-date in 2025, putting more pressure on the Berkshire Hathaway non-stock holdings like the insurance and energy units, which are wholly owned, to perform well during the year.
With a changing of CEO, there is a chance that the top 10 holdings in the Berkshire Hathaway stock portfolio look significantly different at this time next year. Although, many of these stocks have been outperforming the market and helping Berkshire Hathaway produce strong returns annually.

Warren Buffett's Giant Berkshire Portfolio: Top 10 Includes Banks, Oil, And Apple

American Express's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.35% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.31 million shares sold short, which is 1.52% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.58 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for American Express has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing American Express's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, American Express's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.56%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About American Express?

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) might be Berkshire Hathaway Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) biggest holding today, but it's far from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">being Warren Buffett</a>'s oldest flame.
While Apple accounts for over 28% of Berkshire's portfolio, Buffett only began buying it in the first quarter of 2016. That makes it a relative newcomer compared to three other iconic names Buffett picked up way back in the first quarter of 2001 &#8211; and still hasn't let go of. 
With the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio holding onto these shares for over two decades, these positions reveal how Buffett's best investments aren't always the flashiest &#8211; they're the most enduring.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Wallet Staple</h2>
As of the fourth quarter of 2024, Berkshire owns 151.6 million shares of American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>), now worth nearly $45 billion, making it Buffett's #2 holding at 16.84% of the portfolio.
Buffett's enduring confidence is underlined by a whopping 21.5% ownership stake in the company. Amex's brand loyalty and capital-light business model make it the quintessential Buffett stock &#8211; durable, predictable, and slow to leave the wallet.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Underrated Winner</h2>
Moody's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCO#NYSE">MCO</a>) doesn't make headlines like Apple or Coke, but it's been compounding quietly in Buffett's portfolio for 24 years. Berkshire owns nearly 25 million shares, worth $11.7 billion, or 4.37% of the portfolio.
It's a classic Buffett play: pricing power, industry dominance and little need for reinvestment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The OG Buffett Bet</h2>
Buffett might be most associated with Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), and for good reason. Berkshire owns 400 million shares, valued at nearly $25 billion, making up 9.32% of the portfolio.
He once called Coke's brand "the most valuable franchise in the world" &#8211; and clearly, he's still sipping.
Apple may rule today's headlines, but these three 24-year veterans quietly built Buffett's empire &#8211; one quarter at a time.

3 Stocks Warren Buffett First Bought 24 Years Ago (Hint: Apple's Not One Of Them)'

What began quietly years ago has grown into a defining long-term play for Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), as the company signals no intention of slowing down or reassessing its $20 billion bet on Japanese trading companies, amid a changing macro climate. 
What Happened: On Saturday, during Berkshire&#8217;s annual shareholder meeting, Warren Buffett addressed a question from the audience regarding the company's investments in Japan and his outlook on the same in light of a potential interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan.
Buffett said he was unfazed by the macro backdrop, stating, &#8220;I'll let the people of Japan determine their best course of action in terms of economics.&#8221; 
He then went on to reaffirm his confidence in the five Japanese trading companies, Mitsubishi (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSBHF#OTC">MSBHF</a>), Marubeni (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARUY#OTC">MARUY</a>), Mitsui (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MITSY#OTC">MITSY</a>), Sumitomo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMFG#NYSE">SMFG</a>) and Itouchi (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITOCY#OTC">ITOCY</a>), while expressing continued optimism about both their prospects and the broader Japanese economy.

Buffett noted that when he first acquired stakes in these trading houses six years ago, they were &#8220;selling at ridiculously low prices.&#8221; His conviction deepened over time, he added, as he got to know the companies and their leadership teams better.
&#8220;Japan's record has been extraordinary,&#8221; he said, pointing to the strong presence of several major American companies in the region, including several Berkshire holdings like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), and American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>).
Buffett added that &#8220;in the next 50 years, we won't give a thought to selling those [Japanese trading houses] positions,&#8221; underscoring not only his own long-term conviction but also that of Berkshire Vice Chairman, and his newly appointed successor, Greg Abel.
Abel followed up by saying, &#8220;It's been a very good investment, but we really envision holding the investment for 50 years or forever,&#8221; adding that he hopes to &#8220;do big things with them globally.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Early last month, Berkshire was preparing another round of yen-denominated bond issuance, reportedly aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44601574/warren-doubles-down-on-japan-another-yen-bond-blitz-amid-growing-us-market-volatility">refinancing maturing debt</a> and increasing its stakes in its Japanese plays.
Former Vice Chairman Charlie Munger had described the investment as a &#8220;no-brainer,&#8221; pointing to Japan's <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/02/43441032/charlie-munger-praised-buffetts-20b-no-brainer-investment-in-japan-like-having-god-just-opening-a-chest-and-pouring-money-into-it">ultra-low borrowing rates</a>, around 0.50%, and the attractive dividend yields of over 5% offered by the trading houses. 
The company reported its first-quarter results on Saturday, with operating earnings falling 14% year-over-year to $9.6 billion. The decline was primarily due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45183890/berkshire-hathaways-q1-2025-earnings-plunge-amid-tariff-concerns-operating-profit-fell-14-cash-hit-a-record">$1.1 billion hit</a> to underwriting profits from wildfires in Southern California during the quarter.
Price Action: Berkshire shares were up 1.80% on Friday, and are up 0.35% after hours following the company&#8217;s first quarter results, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro. </a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Names Back a Big Bet on AI Security</h2>
Protect AI, founded in 2022 by former engineering leaders from Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), and Amazon Web Services, helps enterprise customers secure machine learning systems by monitoring every layer of the AI pipeline, from data to deployment. It's one of the few startups solely focused on the growing threat landscape surrounding AI-based attacks.
Protect AI has attracted a notable roster of investors, including Salesforce Ventures, Samsung's Venture Investment Corp., and 01 Advisors, a VC firm co-founded by former Twitter executives.
According to<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-01/security-startup-protect-ai-valued-at-400-million-in-funding-deal"> Bloomberg</a>, the company raised a $60 million Series B round in 2024, bringing its total valuation at the time to approximately $400 million.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Prisma AIRS, Palo Alto's Push Into AI Risk Mitigation</h2>
Palo Alto Networks said the acquisition would be integrated into its newly launched AI-native security platform. The platform aims to defend organizations from emerging threats like model manipulation, prompt injection, training data poisoning, and supply chain vulnerabilities, risks that traditional cybersecurity tools often overlook.
Ian Swanson, CEO of Protect AI, wrote in a LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ianswanson_ai-cybersecurity-aisecurity-activity-7322599663746895872-6VDy?utm_source=social_share_send&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop_web&amp;rcm=ACoAACFfB9ABrae0tWCn0kxTT-AK_zR_u68I34M">post</a> that the company set out to &#8220;help organizations secure the most important technology of our time: AI.&#8221; He credited the company's team, investors, and growing industry urgency for helping them build what he called &#8220;category-leading solutions.&#8221;

Protect AI was co-founded by Swanson, Badar Ahmed, and Daryan Dehghanpisheh, all of whom previously held senior positions at AI-focused startups acquired by tech giants.

According to GeekWire, Protect AI currently employs around 120 people across offices in Seattle, Berlin, and Bangalore.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Moves with Long-Term Vision</h2>
The acquisition comes as cybersecurity experts warn of a widening AI threat surface. A 2024<a href="https://hiddenlayer.com/company/newsroom/hiddenlayer-ai-threat-landscape-report/"> report</a> by HiddenLayer revealed that nearly three-fourths of enterprises experienced at least one AI-related breach last year. That statistic has turned AI security from a niche concern into a boardroom priority.
Analysts expect massive growth in the space. In a 2024 report, Morgan Stanley <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/articles/ai-cybersecurity-new-era">projected</a> the AI cybersecurity market will surge to $135 billion by 2030, reflecting a deepening need for solutions that can secure advanced machine learning environments.
This acquisition signals Palo Alto Networks' growing interest in AI-specific security as the technology becomes more embedded across sectors like software, finance, healthcare, and government.

Palo Alto Networks Acquires Protect AI For $500M+, A Startup Backed By Salesforce, Samsung, And 01 Advisors In AI Security Push

Billionaire Warren Buffett has a long history of his Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) conglomerate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years">outperforming the S&amp;P 500,</a> which is tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
While many stocks are down in 2025, one of Buffett's top holdings is significantly outperforming the broader market and could help him outperform in 2025 once again.
What Happened: Buffett's investment in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which remains his largest stock position in Berkshire Hathaway, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig">helped produce strong returns</a> but is turning into a sore spot in 2025.
Apple stock is down 15.9% year-to-date in 2025. In fact, of the five largest stock holdings in Berkshire Hathaway, only one is positive year-to-date as shown below:
<ul>
<li>Apple Inc: -15.9%</li>
<li>American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>): -7.1%</li>
<li>Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>): +15.3%</li>
<li>Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>): -7.3%</li>
<li>Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>): -5.3%</li>
</ul>
The Berkshire Hathaway portfolio includes positions in many stocks and one of the top performers year-to-date and over the last several years is Chinese automaker BYD Company ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>).
The stock is up 49.1% year-to-date, up 69.3% over the last year and up 733.9% over the past five years. Along with beating Apple year-to-date, the five-year returns of the electric vehicle company also outpace Apple.
Buffett currently <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/berkshire-hathaway-portfolio/">owns </a>over 54 million shares of BYD valued at $2.7 billion. The stock represents around 1% of the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio with the conglomerate owning over 4% of the automaker.
While Buffett has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39481191/warren-buffets-berkshire-drops-byd-stake-despite-ev-leader-seeing-record-sales">trimmed the position</a> in BYD in recent years, he remains a key shareholder and the stock's gains are helping Berkshire Hathaway and the wealth of Buffett.
Berkshire Hathaway stock is up 19.3% year-to-date, outpacing the -3.0% performance of the SPY. Berkshire Hathaway has also outperformed the SPY on a one-year and five-year basis.
Buffett is now the sixth richest person in the world with a wealth of $166 billion, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>. Buffett has gained $23.6 billion in wealth and is the top gainer year-to-date among the world's billionaires.
Only three of the top 10 richest people in the world have added to their wealth in 2025, with six of the top 10 each losing $20 billion or more to their wealth totals.

Why It's Important: Buffett can thank companies like BYD that have gained in the Berkshire Hathaway stock portfolio for his increased wealth in 2025.
The growth may not be done for BYD as the company continues to expand in Europe and parts of Asia and is among the world's leaders in electric vehicle sales.

Shares of companies within the broader financial sector are trading higher amid overall market strength following April's jobs data and reports that China's Commerce Ministry is assessing possible trade talks with the US.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">Warren Buffett</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cathie-woodhttps://www.benzinga.com/topic/cathie-wood">Cathie Wood</a> may both be stock-picking legends, but their portfolios might as well be from different galaxies. While Buffett cruises the investing seas with old-school juggernauts, Wood launches rockets hoping they'll land on the moon &#8211; or at least avoid burning up on re-entry.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tech Vs. Tact: A Tale Of Two Strategies</h2>
Data from HedgeFollow <a href="https://hedgefollow.com/funds/Berkshire+Hathaway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggests that</a> in the fourth quarter of 2024, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) clocked in a respectable 2.74% gain, quietly pushing his war chest to a towering $267 billion.
Meanwhile, Cathie Wood's ARK Innovation Fund (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) lit up with a scorching 23.82% quarterly return &#8211; but before ARK fans pop champagne, the long-term picture tells a more sobering story.
Over the past three years, Buffett's top 50 holdings (weighted) returned +20.29%, while Wood's delivered a bruising -33.63%. That's not just a bad quarter &#8211; it's a full-blown crash landing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Billion-Dollar Boring Works Brilliantly</h2>
The difference? 
Buffett's portfolio is a fortress of slow-burning compounders. His crown jewel, Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), takes up 28% of his portfolio and has returned a jaw-dropping +438.8% from its average buy price.
Throw in American Express Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) (+277.6%), Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) (+55.8%) and Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) (+77%), and it's clear the Oracle of Omaha is still the king of buying great companies at great prices… and holding them forever.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cathie's High-Flyers Keep Crashing Back To Earth</h2>
Cathie Wood, on the other hand, is all about "disruption" — and sometimes, the disruption is in her portfolio&#8217;s value. Take Roku Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>), down 46.6% from her average buy-in, and Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>), down -50.1%. Her top bets, like Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), have had moments of glory, but the overall portfolio has been whipsawed by volatility and drawn-out tech drawdowns.
To her credit, Wood&#8217;s fourth-quarter comeback shows that high-beta bets can pay off—just not consistently. While her fund has a whopping 181 holdings, many are moonshots still waiting for liftoff.
Overall, Buffett's performance shows the power of patience and pricing. Wood? She's still betting on the future &#8211; but it seems Buffett is quietly owning it.
Which camp would you rather retire in &#8211; the steady compounder or the volatile visionary?

American Express Unusual Options Activity For May 01

American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) is riding high — and so are its richest customers.
While warnings of a tariff-fueled recession swirl and some Americans are pulling back on spending, AmEx says its most affluent cardholders are still dropping cash on the finer things — especially dining out, which CFO Christophe Le Caillec last week called "the ultimate discretionary expense."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>How do billionaires pay less in income tax than you?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/tax-deferring-adv"> Tax deferring is their number one strategy</a>.</li>
</ul>
In Q1, billed business on AmEx cards jumped 7.5% year over year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44862333/american-express-q1-card-spending-strong-ceo-maintains-annual-outlook-contingent-on-economic-climate">helping push revenue to $17 billion, an 8% increase</a>. That's better than Wall Street expected — and according to CEO Stephen Squeri, it's largely thanks to confident spending from the top tier.
Restaurant and hotel spending stayed strong, while airline spending cooled slightly. But it's not just older cardholders footing the bill anymore. The real surge came from younger Americans: 60% of AmEx's 3.4 million new cardholders last quarter were Gen Z and millennials. Those groups also spent 14% more compared to last year — compared to just a 1% increase from boomers.
AmEx is leaning into that shift. Squeri said younger customers are flocking to the card for its lifestyle perks, like restaurant credits and access to premium dining through acquisitions like Resy and Tock. He even dubbed the revamped Gold Card "the Restaurant Card."

And despite rising economic uncertainty, AmEx isn't pulling back. Squeri said the company sees no reason to yank its full-year forecast of 8–10% revenue growth. "It's probably easy to pull guidance," <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/american-express-ceo-aprils-stock-market-volatility-hasnt-sent-customers-into-their-bunkers-122606716.html">he told Yahoo Finance</a>, "but what are you going to pull if you know you're still within your guidance range?"
"There's a lot of stability and strength, despite the news and the environment," <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/17/american-express-cardholders-still-spending-despite-trump-tariffs.html">Le Caillec explained to CNBC.</a>
That confidence sets AmEx apart from other companies, including JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and major retailers, that are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/04/44717888/jpmorgan-jamie-dimon-warns-recession-now-likely-outcome">warning of a slowdown</a> and ditching forecasts due to tariff chaos and market whiplash. Meanwhile, Le Caillec said that while some small businesses may be stockpiling inventory ahead of potential price hikes, AmEx's core spending levels don't appear artificially inflated.

The rich are still swiping, but what about everyone else?&nbsp;
Beyond the platinum perks and premium cardholders, the broader economy is flashing warning signs. U.S. small business confidence dropped sharply in March, with only 21% of owners expecting better conditions ahead—the lowest since October 2024, according to the <a href="https://www.nfib.com/news/analysis/small-business-optimism-slips-in-march-research/">National Federation of Independent Business</a>.&nbsp;
Sales expectations also fell to their lowest point since before the 2024 election. Meanwhile, consumers across income levels are tightening their belts. A <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/consumer-packaged-goods/our-insights/the-state-of-the-us-consumer">McKinsey survey</a> found that 75% of Americans reported trading down in categories like groceries and apparel, and many are delaying non-essential purchases amid inflation concerns.&nbsp;
