Warren Buffett made $37 million a day in 2013

There’s good reason why Warren Buffett is widely viewed as one of the most successful investors in the world. This past year, the Oracle of Omaha made about $37 million a day, topping a list of billionaires who made the biggest financial gains in 2013, a new study shows.

The legendary billionaire and philanthropist finished 2013 with a net worth of $59.1 billion, up from $46.4 billion at the beginning of the year, according to a wealth-analysis study by Wealth-X and UBS. The number of billionaires in the world grew between July 2012 and June 2013 with total wealth rising by 5.3%. Since the market’s March 2009 lows in the wake of the global financial crisis, billionaires have seen their total wealth more than double from $3.1 trillion to $6.5 trillion.

Despite Buffett’s monster gain, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is still the wealthiest billionaire in the world, ending the year with total net worth of $72.6 billion

Inspirational. Great investor and person. I read somwer dat he plans to donate 99% of his wealth to charity. He said that the 1% is enough for him to live comfortably and will not affect his lifestyle at all. True.

It is him and Bill Gates, will be donated to Gates foundation or something like that. I actually think Bill Gates started it and Buffet followed suit.
