Warren Buffett’s Wealth Defies Global Billionaire Losses in 2025

Amid widespread wealth erosion among the world’s richest individuals in 2025, legendary investor Warren Buffett stands out. He is one of only two billionaires in the top 20 of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index to have increased their fortune this year.

Buffett, the 94-year-old chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has seen his net worth grow by US$11.5 billion (S$15.6 billion) so far in 2025, reaching US$153.5 billion, according to Bloomberg. This surge places him as the fourth-richest person in the world.

Market Sell-Off Triggered by Tariffs Hits Billionaire Fortunes

The gains come in stark contrast to the massive financial losses experienced by most billionaires following U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies. These new tariffs have shaken investor confidence and triggered a global market sell-off, erasing more than US$500 billion in just two trading sessions.

Tech titan Elon Musk, who remains the world’s richest person, has lost US$134.7 billion in 2025 alone. His net worth fell to US$297.8 billion on April 7, marking the first time it has dipped below the US$300 billion mark since November.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Steady Performance Amid Market Downturn

While Berkshire Hathaway’s stock has declined by 8.8% since April 2, it has still outperformed the broader S&P 500, which has dropped 10.7% in the same timeframe.

The relative strength of Buffett’s conglomerate reflects the resilience of its core businesses, particularly property and casualty insurance, which remain less exposed to global trade disruptions. Analysts also believe investors may be anticipating that Buffett, known for seizing opportunities during downturns, could soon make significant acquisitions amid the current sell-off.

Buffett’s Conservative Investment Approach Pays Off

In recent quarters, Buffett has held off on major deals. Instead, he opted to trim positions in Apple and Bank of America—two of Berkshire’s largest holdings—both of which have seen double-digit declines since the tariff announcement. His caution and preference for value investing may be contributing factors to his rising net worth in a bearish market.

Francoise Bettencourt Meyers: The Only Other Billionaire Gainer in 2025’s Top 20

Apart from Buffett, the only other billionaire in the top 20 to record a gain in 2025 is Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, the L’Oréal heiress. She has added US$1.8 billion to her fortune, placing her at No. 19 on Bloomberg’s list.

Conclusion: Buffett’s Strategic Patience Stands Out in Volatile Times

As market volatility persists and global economic uncertainty deepens, Warren Buffett’s performance underscores the power of long-term strategy and diversified investments. While others see massive erosion in wealth, Buffett continues to demonstrate the strength of patient capital, disciplined risk-taking, and financial foresight.
